TraumaFX

TraumaFX™: The Way Forward
TraumaFX is a line of ruggedized, tetherless trauma training mannequins with state-of-the-art special effects technology. Developed for RDECOM with acknowledgement and support from other U.S. Army entities, it is made of a specially formulated reusable synthetic tissue with unparalleled realism and durability, creating the most authentic simulations of severe battlefield injuries to improve medical task training and provide critical emotional and stress conditioning.

TraumaFX in Action

The TraumaFX™ line of training simulators is developed from human factors requirements analysis for military and civilian training courses and job functions, combining Cognitive Systems Engineering, Instructional System Design, and state of the art special effects technologies from the entertainment industry. Researched and developed under the Severe Trauma Simulation Army Technology Objective (ATO), TraumaFX was engineered specifically to meet the rigorous requirements of military and civilian training needs such as:

• Tactical Combat Casualty Care
  • Care Under Fire and Tactical Field Care (medics, corpsmen)
  • Combat Lifesaver
  • Military doctor and nurse training
• Civilian EMT/paramedic shock trauma certification
• Civilian State Shock Trauma Systems
• Fire and Emergency Academies
• Medical Schools

Already receiving national accolades, TraumaFX was selected as the best development project from RDECOM-STTC during 2008-2009 and submitted for review to the Army Laboratory Assessment Group (ALAG) peer review team.

Multiple Amputee Trauma Trainer (MATT™)
The TraumaFX product line includes an end-state high fidelity lower body, Multiple Amputee Trauma Trainer (MATT™) that can be paired with a matching upper body, other existing training aids, or can be worn by human patient simulators or human actors to support realistic training for hemorrhage control and other critical injuries. The current upper body component includes matching realistic skin, weight and feel, a tension pneumothorax penetrating wound on the chest, and abdominal training elements. TraumaFX provides the most accurate trauma simulation to improve in-field medical treatment, as well as unparalleled stress inoculation training such that soldiers and medical personnel will be technically and emotionally prepared to deal with severe wounds.

Rugged Beyond Expectation
TraumaFX™ has undergone several successful user tests at the following facilities: Camp Lejeune, NC; Fort Indiantown Gap, PA; and Camp Bullis, TX. In addition, it has been used to train Navy Hospital Corpsmen, Navy Religious Personnel, Coast Guard Medical personnel, as well as Army Combat Lifesavers and 68W/91W Army Combat Medics. In all cases, users were highly impressed with the realism and usefulness of MATT.

Upcoming Add-ons
An added Hemostatic Agent Trainer capability is under development for the TraumaFX trainer. Also, a high-fidelity upper body prototype is in progress for use with the existing TraumaFX™ lower body component.
