Special Needs Infant Male

Special needs infants require specific, yet gentle, care which includes the performance of vital medical procedures. This newborn-size infant allows health care facilities and medical staff to teach special procedures and develop a nursing care plan for special needs infants. The simulator was developed for a wide range of educational training, including beginning nursing students. Medical devices that can be used include:

• tracheostomy tube and suction catheter

Procedures that can be practiced include:
• Tracheostomy care (lavage and suctioning)
• Gastrostomy cares (lavage and gavage)
