Nose in a Box Simulator

The Wounds in a Box^® series offers cost effective, compact solutions for skills training. Easy to transport, yet rugged enough for classroom or field use.

The Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) trainer, or Nose in a Box^™ task trainer is designed to be simple, durable, economical, and portable. This simple device allows the demonstration and practice of NPA insertion (NPA device not included). This device also can be used for training the administration of naloxone (NARCAN not included).

Construction

The representative skin and tissue of the Nose in a Box^™ is constructed of high quality silicone rubber, with layers of coloration that provide a depth and realism to the product. In addition, the SOFTTECH^® material has a realistic feel, and is very durable and UV resistant.

Operation

The Nose in a Box^™ can be used to train in nasopharyngeal intubation and Naloxone (Narcan) administration. Practice Narcan administration by inserting the tip of the nozzle into one nostril and pressing the plunger firmly. To practice NPA insertion, lubricate the nasopharyngeal airway with water-soluble lubricant or anesthetic jelly. Insert the airway posteriorly to the nasal cavity.

Maintenance

The device should be rinsed in clean, warm water and allowed to dry before storage. The simulation may be removed from the storage case for cleaning. The device may be washed with mild detergents like dish soap. Allow the device to dry fully before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
