Life/form® S.A.L.A.D. Simulator

Why Choose the Life/form® S.A.L.A.D. Simulator for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Life/form® S.A.L.A.D. Simulator (Item No. 1021583, MPN: LF03500U) by Nasco Healthcare, USA is an 8.677 kg Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination trainer — using active suction to enhance first pass success-laryngoscopy (FPS-L) technique on a simulated non-anesthetized patient in active emesis. For ACLS training centres, emergency medicine residency programmes, anaesthesiology training, and advanced airway management courses in India, S.A.L.A.D. trains a critical real-world scenario that standard intubation manikins cannot replicate: securing the airway when the patient is actively vomiting and visualisation is compromised — a leading cause of failed first-pass intubation attempts in emergency settings.

Within the broader Life/form® Airway Larry family — spanning ten different head/torso configurations from introductory single-feature trainers to advanced multi-feature platforms — S.A.L.A.D. is the only configuration purpose-built for suction-assisted laryngoscopy with active emesis simulation, combining digital intubation, suctioning, manual carotid pulse, and full device insertion compatibility (E.T., E.O.A., P.T.L., L.M.A., Combitube®, and King System) in a single male head platform. Students practise oral, digital, and nasal intubation while managing active simulated emesis with a rigid suction catheter that distracts the lower mandible and tongue to permit laryngoscope insertion — directly training the physical coordination of suctioning and laryngoscopy simultaneously. Cricoid pressure application changes tracheal position and closes the oesophagus, enabling realistic Sellick manoeuvre practice. Anatomical landmarks include teeth, tongue, oral and nasal pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, arytenoids, false cords, true vocal cords, trachea, oesophagus, and cricoid cartilage — providing the complete anatomical reference set for advanced airway training.

Durable, rugged one-piece construction with manual carotid pulse makes this suitable for both introductory classes and advanced students, given the slightly anterior head position and manoeuvring room it provides. The delivery set includes the “Airway Larry” Adult Airway Management Trainer Head, suction canister with two right-angle tubing adapters, a gallon container with hand pump, two simulated latex-free lungs, thickener (for emesis simulation), rigid suction catheter, two 3-ft. lengths of clear vinyl tubing, pump spray lubricant, five red caps with white fittings, tubing couplings, five pinch clamps, a #10 spanner bit, and a carrying case with handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What clinical scenario does S.A.L.A.D. specifically train?
A: First pass success-laryngoscopy on a non-anesthetized, actively vomiting patient — a scenario where visualisation is compromised and standard intubation manikins provide no training value, since they cannot simulate active emesis.

Q: Which airway devices can be practised with this simulator?
A: E.T., E.O.A., P.T.L., L.M.A., Combitube®, and King System insertion, alongside oral, digital, and nasal intubation.

Q: What is included?
A: The Airway Larry Adult Airway Management Trainer Head, suction canister with adapters, hand pump container, two latex-free lungs, thickener, suction catheter, tubing, lubricant, caps, clamps, a spanner bit, and a carrying case.
