The latest version of our medical training simulator incorporates numerous improvements based on user feedback from both civilian and military medics. The weight of the simulator has been increased by 1.0 kg, allowing for more precise and detailed anatomical-topographical landmarks of the nasal passages. These updates provide a more realistic training experience for users.

The simulator allows for practicing the skill of inserting a nasopharyngeal airway. As in the previous version, it comes with two plates – transparent and opaque:

• The transparent plate is used for visual control of the airway's passage through the nasal cavity.
• The opaque plate is for "blind" insertion of the airway.

Before using the simulator, lubricate the nasal passages and the airway with a lubricant (if lubricant is unavailable, vegetable oil, for example, can be used). Insert the plate into the corresponding slots of the simulator. Insert the airway according to established rules. Important! For training, it is best to use the airway included with the simulator. If the airway diameter is increased, its insertion may become more difficult.

Parameters:

• Material – silicone
• Silicone elasticity – 5 Shore
• Color – flesh-colored
• Weight – 2.1 kg
• Width – 100 mm
• Length – 260 mm
• Height – 100 mm

Skills:

1. Anatomical orientation:
   • Identification and recognition of anatomical structures of the nasal passages.
   • Understanding anatomical landmarks for correct nasopharyngeal airway insertion.
2. Airway management using nasopharyngeal airway insertion.

Scope of application: This updated simulator is ideal for:

• Tactical medicine training: effective for military personnel and law enforcement officers, enhancing their skills in providing pre-hospital care.
• First aid training: for students of general educational institutions (subject "Defense of Ukraine"), students of higher educational institutions of all levels of education, paramedics, volunteers.
