The Suprapubic Training Model provides a realistic simulation for safe, effective catheterisation practice. Trainees experience abdominal wall resistance, learn correct catheter length, and confirm successful bladder access through fluid return. An essential tool for building confidence and competence in suprapubic catheterisation across nursing, urology, and healthcare training environments.
Skills
Suprapubic catheterisation is becoming an increasingly common alternative to urethral indwelling catheters, and can be undertaken by practitioners and nurses in many healthcare settings
Training away from the patient is essential to ensure that practitioners feel confident and competent to carry out the procedure.
The suprapubic catheterisation model allows the practitioner to feel the normal pressures exerted by the abdominal wall on catheterisation
Allows the practitioner to understand the average length of catheter required to be inserted in order to drain the bladder
Features
When the bladder is successfully reached water will flow through the catheter
