SimMan Critical Care

Preparing the genitalia and catheterization

SimMan CC is fitted with neutral genitalia. It can be replaced with the supplied male or female genitalia to simulate catheterization.

  1. Remove the Patient Simulator’s genitalia pad by gripping the pad pulling forward and down.

  2. Select new genitalia module.

  3. Connect the new genitalia module’s urine tube and the catheterization sensor cable from inside the Patient Simulator pelvis to the urine bladder module.

  4. Place the new genitalia module back into the Patient Simulator’s pelvis.

NOTES

  • The Patient Simulator legs do not need to be removed before the genitalia pad can be replaced.

  • Common skin preparations such as chlorhexidine and povidone iodine-based products may be used safely without staining the genitalia.

  • Always use a water-based lubricant liberally when inserting a urine catheter.

Use the following catheter sizes

Female genitalia

Foley 14Fr and Lofric 16Fr

Male genitalia

Foley 16Fr and Lofric 16Fr
