Chester Chest for prolonged vascular access

Chester Chest™ with a new improved arm, which can also be purchased separately to equip your Chester Chest™. The Chester Chest™ is a unique teaching material with which you will be able to master the following prolonged vascular accesses:

• Implanted port

• Central venous catheter (CVC)

• Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)

The new improved arm is equipped with a 5FR double lumen PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) that comes out of the basilic vein, considered the ideal access. In the PICC access area there is a slot to place the peripheral port (the port is represented, but is not included with the supplied material). Another feature of the new arm is a 20G i.v. catheter located in the forearm. The new improved arm offers a higher level of rotation and extension than the previous model and can be used to practice cleaning, dressing placement and immobilizations, and infusion methods.

The right side of the chest is equipped with a surgically placed central venous catheter (CVC). Catheters can also be placed in the external jugular vein and the subclavian vein through existing openings.

The implanted port is located on the left side of the chest. The various included tissue flaps allow for simulating complicated access scenarios, such as a deep, tilted, displaced or migrated port.

The Chester Chest™ can be used in a vertical position or lying on its back.

It comes with a blood reserve bag, talcum powder, and instructions for use.
