The correct catheterization of a female dog requires a lot of practice and dexterity due to the anatomical conditions. The "Cathy" simulator faithfully reproduces the hindquarters of a medium-sized dog breed and offers a professional platform to perfect this technique without stress for the animal.
The model simulates the complete anatomical structure of the urogenital tract, including the vagina, urethral opening, and bladder. Particularly valuable for learning success: With a correctly placed catheter, the integrated fluid reservoir allows for a real fluid flow, which gives the learner immediate visual confirmation of their work. In addition, the typical resistance when inserting the catheter is realistically reproduced. In addition to catheterization, the integrated silicone anal insert also allows for training in perirectal examination.
Learning Functions & Training Goals
-
Precise Localization: Training to find the often difficult-to-visualize urethral opening in female dogs.
-
Haptic Feedback: Realistic simulation of mechanical resistance during the catheterization process.
-
Success Control: Active fluid drainage from the artificial bladder when correctly positioned.
-
Multifunctional: Additional training option for rectal examinations using the anal insert.
