Port access training looks different in every learning environment.
Some learners practice with a training partner. Others use simulation manikins or skills labs. Many programs combine multiple training approaches.
The Wearable Port Access Trainer™ was designed with that in mind.
Whether worn by a training partner or standardized patient, mounted to a full-body manikin, or used on a tabletop, the Wearable Port Access Trainer adapts to a variety of training environments.
Combining Technical Skills and Patient Communication
Learning to access an implanted port is an important clinical skill. Before performing the procedure, clinicians are also explaining what they're doing, answering questions, and helping patients feel comfortable. These conversations are a key part of the patient experience.
When worn by a training partner or standardized patient, the Wearable Port Access Trainer allows learners to practice port access and patient communication within the same simulation.
Features That Support Realistic Practice
Wearable & Interactive
Wear the trainer on a standardized patient to practice both port access and patient interaction, mount it to a simulation manikin for technical skills training, or use it on a tabletop for demonstrations and independent practice.
Multiple Training Scenarios
Two interchangeable skin thicknesses and three port inserts expose learners to a variety of realistic access scenarios.
Lifelike Performance
Dermalike™ latex-free material, simulated blood flashback, and an integrated “stick-to-flush” workflow create a realistic training experience from needle placement through catheter maintenance.
Built to Last
The durable skin flap can withstand 1,800+ accesses with a 20-gauge Huber needle, making it ideal for repeated classroom use.
