TruCorp is a medical simulation task trainer company that specializes in anatomically correct airway management simulators, clinical skills task trainers and surgical simulation trainers. To help advance realistic airway management and emergency procedure training, the company’s intubation heads and innovative AirSim product lines are designed based on CT data scanned from actual human patients. From the silicone skin covering to the articulation of the neck and jaw, the advanced airway trainers have a lifelike feel and responsiveness, making every training session more true to life. Here we take a close look at the complete range of AirSim X trainers available from TruCorp.
During COVID-19, the need to specifically train for complicated airway management while in full PPE, put additional pressure on clinicians and clinical educators alike. As shown in Qualitative evaluation of just-in-time simulation-based learning: the learners’ perspective (Kamdar et al) and Perceptions on the Impact of a Just-in-Time Room on Trainees and Supervising Physicians in a Pediatric Emergency Department (Thomas et al.), “Just in Time” clinical task training can “improve trainee confidence and supervisor reports of less procedural intervention.” By practicing airway management skills in a safe simulated environment with high-quality simulators like those from TruCorp, programs can increase performance outcomes and reduce medical errors for an overall cost savings of up to 40:1!
TruCorp’s advanced airway management training manikins feature visually accurate airways tested for over 20,000 intubation cycles and anatomically correct internal and external landmarks. Thus, TruCorp airway trainers have a long lifespan thanks to easily replaceable parts, which makes them ideal training equipment for airway management training courses, focused on training current and prospective doctors, nurses, EMTs and paramedics, military members, firefighters, first responders, anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists and clinical skills educators.
Many of the TruCorp trainers also come with an inflatable tongue for edema simulation, multiple difficult airway options, real-feel skin covering, cost-efficient consumables and easily replaceable parts. It is important to note that there are five-year airway guarantees on many of the TruCorp AirSim X product lines.
