Weany

Weany - The Weaner

With its interchangeable training modules, our Weany enables practical simulation of basic invasive procedures on the runner pig. With its skin-like surface and a weight of 9 kg, it conveys the impression of a lifelike pig not only visually but also haptically. The integrated hip and shoulder joints allow Weany to be fixed in different positions and simulate handling during various procedures.

Blood sampling and intracardiac injection can be trained lifelike with the exchangeable modules. Blood sampling from the vena cava can be performed with conventional cannula as well as with vacuum systems on the IV module in the choke channel. The IC module has, in addition to a puncturable ventricle, palpable ribs so that the correct puncture site can be localized via anatomical points. An integrated tubing system connects the IV module and the IC module to the blood reservoir and allows aspiration of blood when the cannula is placed correctly.

Training of an IM injection into the neck muscles can be simulated on the integrated IM module.

Surgical castration can be performed step by step at the integrated castration module. After incision through the external skin, the testes can be located, advanced and castrated covered or uncovered. Testicles, epididymis and spermatic cords are represented in detail.

After successful application, the modules can be exchanged in just a few steps and Weany is ready for the next use.
