TraumaFX®
AirwayPlus Lifecast (APL) Upper Torso Trainer
The TraumaFX® AirwayPlus Lifecast (APL) APL is a ruggedized, upper-torso trainer that takes realism to the next level, helping trainees learn how to treat patients suffering from traumatic upper-body injuries. Students learn to find realistic anatomical landmarks to execute critical patient treatment without relying on marked indicators. The APL trains responders to perform life-saving tasks such as maintaining a patient’s airway, needle decompression, chest tube insertion, cricothyroidotomy, and intraosseous infusion.
The TraumaFX® APL is unparalleled in ruggedness and durability. Designed specifically for use in tough outdoor terrains, the APL features articulating shoulders and realistic reinforced silicone arms; it can be carried, dragged and transported in a variety of vehicles and aircraft. The APL can withstand nearly any weather condition, making it ideally suited for Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and Combat Lifesaver training courses.
The APL is a multi-purpose training tool. It can function as a stand-alone skills station or be connected to TraumaFX® lower torso for use in training lanes. The APL’s simulated injury training sites allow for multiple uses with cost-effective replacement components available.
