Techline Technologies Ribs in a Box

• Article number: PTT-B55-D

The Ribs in a Box task trainer is for training students in Needle Decompression of a Tension Pneumothorax. The simulated SOFTTECH, ROCKTECH bone and internal membrane provide realistic feedback to the trainee, while the internal cavity can accommodate an inflated exam glove or ballon to mimic escaping air when pierced. (Air release device not included). 

The representative skin and tissue of the PTT-B55 is constructed of high-quality silicone rubber, with layers of coloration that provide depth and realism to the product. In addition, the SOFTTECH material has a realistic feel and is very durable and UV-resistant. The ROCKTECH bone has a two-part design to maintain tension on the membrane separating the open cavity underneath. 

The device should be rinsed in clean, warm water and allowed to dry before storage. The simulation may be removed from the storage case for cleaning. The device may be washed with mild detergents like dish soap or cleaned with a disinfecting agent like isopropyl alcohol or a diluted bleach solution, as it is durable and chemically resistant. Allow the device to dry fully before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
