SIMETRI Teams with Laerdal to Deliver Trauma Manikins

SIMETRI was chosen by Laerdal Medical to produce “trauma limbs” to complement the high-fidelity, full-body patient simulators they delivered to the Department of the Army.

Laerdal’s contract provides new manikins to the U.S. ArmyMedical Simulation Training Centers (MSTCs), where sustainment and enhancedmedical training is provided to combat medics and all non-medical Soldiersacross the active Army, Reserve, and National Guard. The MSTCs provide hands-oninstruction on the latest battlefield trauma and critical care techniques basedon Army Medical Department (AMEDD) approved performance-oriented Programs ofInstruction (POI).  Medical treatmentvalidation exercises simulate the high stress of performing medicalinterventions in combat.

“With realistic trauma simulation, we can replicate the highstress environment surrounding a provider while needing to performinterventions in combat,” Albán said. “We’re able to prepare first respondersto treat the latest traumatic injuries with critical-care techniques.”

SIMETRI continues to deliver high fidelity trauma modules and moulage that is compatible both with human actors and human patient simulators.
