There are 4 types of setups you can choose from.
Setup 1: Shallow Without Blanching
- Simulates early-stage pressure ulcers (Stage 1, 2, and healing Stage 3)
- No fluid used in the simulation
- Pressure sensors prompt SP to take action if triggered
- Setup involves attaching the shallow base, silicone ring, and a shallow wound insert before securing the Avwound to the standardized patient (SP)
Setup 2: Shallow With Blanching
- Simulates early-stage pressure ulcers with blanching for realism
- No fluid used in the simulation
- Pressure sensors prompt SP to take action if triggered
- Setup involves attaching the shallow base, silicone ring, a shallow wound insert, and cooler for the blanching effect before securing the Avwound to the SP
Setup 3: Deep Without Blanching
- Advanced training for Stage 3/4 pressure ulcers, large lacerations, and surgical wounds
- Fluid simulation for drainage (no blanching)
- Setup involves attaching the deep base, deep wound insert, silicone ring, and fluidics tubing for exudate control before securing the Avwound to the SP
Setup 4: Deep With Blanching
- Simulates deep wounds with blanching and fluid drainage
- Ideal for training in severe wound management, vascular response, and exudate handling
- Setup involves attaching the deep base, deep wound insert, silicone ring, fluidics setup, and cooler for blanching effects before securing the Avwound to the SP
