A Must – have in Medical Classrooms: Intelligent Abdominal Palpation Manikin Facilitates Teaching

Functional Features:
■ This intelligent manikin for abdominal palpation is made of environmentally friendly thermoplastic elastomer mixed rubber material. It has a high degree of skin texture simulation, a soft abdomen, and a lifelike appearance.
■ The intelligent manikin for abdominal palpation adopts microcomputer simulation and control technology, which automatically selects and controls various abdominal signs of the manikin.
■ The selection of abdominal sign changes is completely automated.
■ The liquid crystal display shows the selected abdominal signs.
■ Liver operation: The liver enlargement can be set from 1 to 7 centimeters, and liver palpation operation can be carried out.
■ Spleen operation: The spleen enlargement can be set from 1 to 9 centimeters, and spleen palpation operation can be carried out.
■ Tenderness operation: Various tenderness points of the manikin can be palpated, and at the same time, the manikin emits a painful cry of “Ouch! It hurts!”
· Gallbladder tenderness: When palpating the gallbladder tenderness (positive Murphy’s sign), the manikin can suddenly hold its breath and resume breathing after the hand is lifted.
· Tenderness at the appendiceal point: When pressing on McBurney’s point in the right lower abdomen, the manikin will make a sound of “Ouch, it hurts!” and will still be accompanied by the sound of rebound tenderness of “Ouch, it hurts!” after the hand is lifted.
