Training phantoms that enhance patient care and deliver better results.

ERGONOMIC

Each training phantom features a user-friendly ergonomic design. Practitioners will love how the firm base makes it easy to use.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Our phantoms are a high-quality, cost-effective option for healthcare facilities — up to 40% less expensive than other leading brands.

DURABLE

Made with a highly durable material that preserves the internal structures of the phantom. Our phantoms feature a self-healing technology that prevents punctures from damaging the device.

AUTHENTIC FEEL

The internal structures of our phantoms are made to mimic the density of human tissue, thereby providing you with an authentic ultrasound training experience.

EASILY DRAIN SALINE

Designed with ease of use in mind, our phantoms allow practitioners and trainees to easily drain any saline injected during the exercise.

GEL COMPATIBILITY

Our phantoms are compatible with all types of ultrasound gels to effectively replicate a real-life ultrasound-guided scan or procedure.

Choose the perfect phantom

We offer a variety of high-quality ultrasound training phantoms to suit your needs. From breast biopsies to vascular access, our collection will have the perfect phantom for you.

Our goal is to enhance ultrasound-guided procedures.

Our training phantoms allow ultrasound users to enhance their needle visualization skills through high-quality materials and features.

We facilitate world class training at market-leading prices.

Our ultrasound training phantoms emulate human tissue and internal structures to create a real-life experience. They are equally useful for the novice ultrasound user as well as more experienced practitioners seeking to improve their needle visualization skills. The best part: all of our phantoms are available at market-leading prices, so that your facility can save without affecting the quality of your training equipment. Switching to our phantoms can save you up to 40%.

Needle visualization is our specialty.

The handling of the ultrasound transducer and the needle directly influences the image displayed on the screen.

Obtaining the best needle visualization is one of the great challenges for beginners in ultrasound-guided procedures. The most common needle insertion is in the plane of the transducer and the insertion angle is usually 45° as obtuse as possible to the tissue.

In-plane (long axis)

In-plane, the needle is visualized (longitudinal view). It is possible to obtain a continuous visualization of the needle and its tip.

Out-of-plane (short axis)

The needle is inserted orthogonally to the image plane. The result is a transverse image of the position of the needle tip (visualized as a bright point).

The needle is visualized only under the ultrasound beam. It must therefore be contained within the imaging plane. If the visibility of the needle is obstructed due to non-alignment with the transducer, the needle must be removed and a new angulation must be found. Then the needle can be inserted again. Depending on the adopted technique, ultrasound-guided procedures can be performed with the needle in the plane of the ultrasound beam or out of the plane which modifies the way the image will be obtained.

Ultrasound training in practice

Scientific Recommendations

  • “Simulation training provides new opportunities to practice skills used in clinical procedures, crisis management scenarios, and everyday clinical practice in a risk-free environment. Procedural […] skills used in interventional radiology can be taught with the use of simulation devices and technologies.” Source: Association of University Radiologists. Review of Simulation Training in Interventional Radiology. 2018, Elsevier Inc.
  • “The use of a multifunctional soft phantom assembly thus shows great promise for the simulation of minimally invasive medical procedures under realistic conditions.” Source: Li D et al., Soft Phantom for the Training of Renal Calculi Diagnostics and Lithotripsy. Eng Med Biol Soc. 2019.

Protocol of Delegation

« By way of derogation, health professionals (listed in art. L. 4011-1 of the public health code) may engage, on their own initiative in a cooperative approach with the aim of transferring activities or acts of care between them or reorganizing their mode of intervention with the patient. »

For example, within the framework of a delegation protocol between an interventional radiologist and a medical radiology technician for PICC-lines placement, the technician can, under the supervision of the interventional radiologist, practice PICC-lines placement.He will have to carry out 3 teaching and training sessions on phantoms, i.e. duration of 6 hours. The practical part consists of about 10 PICC-lines as main operator, performed under the direct control of the referring physician. Our phantoms thus encourage learning and training and allow the operator to practice the medical act of PICC-lines placement.
