SETUP FOR SIMULATION
There are four blood ports with twist and lock connectors, as Illustrated on the right.
• Ensure the area to which the wound will be attached is clean and dry.
• Apply adhesive tape to the back side of the wound.
• Remove the protective liner from the adhesive tape on the wound and fix it in the desired
position on the skin.
ReMoving wounds
1 Flush all ports and tubes with 60% Isopropanol alcohol or 70% ethanol while the wounds
are still attached to the bleeding ports. Follow instructions for Cleaning the Blood System.
2 When the fluid runs clear, disconnect the wounds from ports.
3 Remove the wounds from the manikin skin and remove any tape residue with Laerdal
Manikin Wipes.
Note: When removing Wounds from the blood ports, cover the manikin skin with a cloth to prevent staining.
Note: Trauma modules can be purchased separately to replace default limbs to add realism to simulation.
