Wound care model educates patients and providers

VATA, Inc. (Canby, Ore) provider of intravenous, infusion, and venipuncture training, offers realistic models. The Seymour II™ is molded to replicate a 74-year-old patient and looks and feels like the real thing.

Some of the wound models represent are Stage I to Stage IV pressure ulcers, undermining, tunneling, eschar, slough, exposed bone, tendons and ligaments, and suspected deep tissue injury (DTI). This model makes it possible to visualize and understand the differences in wounds. Great care has been taken to color each wound just as it would be seen on a patient.
