Chester Chest with New Standard Arm, Light Skin
Chester Chest has been an industry standard since 1986 for the teaching of central line care. Chester Chest makes it possible to teach and practice the infusion, withdrawal, care, securement and dressings of multiple vascular access lines.
The right chest area of Chester Chest has a 9.6Fr tunneled central catheter that is visible up to the clavicle. The Dacron cuff on this catheter is also discernable. The external jugular vein is slightly raised with an opening to attach your own triple lumen catheter and there is also an opening in the upper chest area for placement of a subclavian catheter. These optional catheters are available from VATA, or if you prefer, you can send us the catheters your institution uses and we will install them at no charge.
Included with this model is a real port that makes it possible to simulate accessing the following IVAD placements: "normal", "tipping", "wandering" or deeply placed in the left chest area. Successful access is confirmed by a "blood" return. Fluid can be infused and "blood" withdrawn from all the lines. Now supplied with an updated arm Standard Arm for Chester Chest that is positioned with a greater degree of rotation and extension than the previous arm. The arm has a dual 5Fr PICC exiting the basilic vein from the inner bicep area and an IV site. The Standard Arm for Chester Chest can be ordered separately to upgrade your existing Chester Chest.
Chester Chest is a great tool for teaching, competency testing, skills assessment, fluid infusion, "blood” withdrawal and dressing securement techniques associated with central access devices!
