Description:

Laerdal’s Airway Management Trainer reproduces the tactile subtleties of adult anatomy from incisors to mainstem bronchi, enabling realistic practice of bag-mask ventilation, oral/nasal intubation, LMA, cricothyrotomy and suction. The silicone tongue swells under negative pressure, allowing students to learn jaw-thrust and BURP maneuvers, while the trachea bifurcates into two latex-lung bags so correct placement yields bilateral chest rise and auscultatory breath sounds. Excessive ventilation or obstructed airway inflates the simulated stomach, reinforcing proper tidal volumes. A sturdy baseboard lets the head tilt and rotate without lifting the manikin, and a modular airway cassette swaps in minutes after 500 intubations to extend life. The kit ships with airway demo model, lubricant, suction reservoir and rigid carry case.

Economic Advantage:

Unlike full-torso simulators, the trainer has no electronics—meaning zero downtime for firmware or batteries. One head can support an entire ACLS class, and the replace-only-when-worn airway inserts cost a fraction of disposable bronchi, dropping per-student consumable cost below $3.
