You've Gotten Under my Skin: How to Make a Simple, Non-Perishable, Low-Cost Soft Tissue Infection Ultrasound Simulator
John Barrett, Christy Moore, Jeffrey A. Kramer, Nova Panebianco
TL;DR
This paper explains how to create a low-cost, durable ultrasound simulator for training on soft tissue infections like abscesses and necrotizing fasciitis.
Contribution
The novelty is a non-perishable, reusable, and affordable SSTI phantom for ultrasound training and needle aspiration practice.
Findings
The SSTI simulator mimics multiple infection pathologies effectively.
The model is durable and has an extended shelf-life for repeated use.
It can also be used as a needle aspiration training tool.
Abstract
We describe how to make an ultrasound compatible, low-cost, non-perishable, durable skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) phantom model that simulates multiple pathologies including abscess and necrotizing fasciitis. The SSTI simulator has an extended shelf-life, can be recreated, and can serve as a needle aspiration simulator.
