Bone model Stan™

lumbo-sacralskindecubitus ulcer treatment

Stan™ Stage 4 Pressure Injury Model features a large sacral Stage 4 pressure injury (per NPUAP 2016 Pressure Ulcer Staging Guidelines), with eschar, subcutaneous fat, undermining, tunneling, slough, eschar and exposed bone with osteomyelitis. This model also includes a Stage 3 pressure injury with subcutaneous fat and granulation tissue. The large size and depth of the Stage 4 pressure injury, as well as the undermining and tunneling, make it ideal for patient simulation. It’s also perfect for practicing the proper dressing and preparation of a large wound for use with a negative pressure wound therapy device. The Stage 3 pressure injury is positioned so that the Stage 4 can be dressed by itself or a “bridging” dressing can be applied to the Stage 4 and Stage 3 to demonstrate and practice this skill. The unique flexible life-like material permits the placement and removal of dressings for use with negative pressure wound therapy devices without leaving an adhesive residue. It is also possible to demonstrate wound cleansing, classification and staging, as well as the measurement of wounds. Great care has been taken to hand paint each wound just as it would be seen on a patient for the most life-like patient simulation. Wound assessment has become critical to the operation of health agencies, as inaccurate wound assessment can affect reimbursement, cause inaccurate reporting of patient outcomes and the appearance of potential adverse events. This VATA model makes it possible to visualize and understand the differences in wounds for optimal simulation.
