  • Torso simulant with vascular elements mechanically responsive to a tourniquet
    Patent number: 10115322
    Abstract: A torso simulant for use as a training device for stemming blood flow is presented. The simulant includes a mandrel, a compressible tube(s), a plate, a patch, a compressible layer, and a structure(s). The mandrel includes an exterior surface simulating at least a portion of a trunk. The compressible tube simulates a vascular element. The plate partially covers the mandrel and the compressible tube so that the compressible tube is disposed between the mandrel and the plate. The plate is movable toward the mandrel enabling compression of the compressible tube when a force is applied onto the plate. The patch completely covers the plate and partially covers the mandrel and the compressible tube. The patch is secured to the mandrel about a perimeter of the plate. The compressible tube extends from under the patch. The compressible layer covers the mandrel, the compressible tube and the patch. The compressible layer simulates skin. The structure is disposed along the compressible layer to simulate an injury.
