TacMed Solutions: WBS-MATT-PB: Whole Body MATT: Pulses Breathing

The WBS-MATT-PB (Whole-Body Simulator – Multiple Amputation Trauma Trainer with Pulses & Breathing) from TacMed Solutions is a state-of-the-art, full-body trauma simulator designed for immersive, high-stakes training in critical care, tactical medicine, and emergency response. Developed with realism, durability, and functionality at the core, this advanced medical trauma simulator replicates the physical and physiological responses of a severely injured patient, empowering trainees to practice and master life-saving interventions in real-world conditions.

Purpose-Built for High-Fidelity, Field-Ready Training

Unlike traditional simulation models, the WBS-MATT-PB is ruggedly constructed for outdoor, field-based exercises in any weather or terrain. Whether training in urban disaster environments, remote combat zones, or pre-hospital EMS scenarios, this simulator is built to withstand the rigors of harsh training conditions. The medical simulator‘s durable materials and weather-resistant design allow instructors and students to focus on mission-critical procedures without limitations.

The model features bilateral leg amputations with realistic arterial bleeding, enabling students to train in one of the most dangerous and common battlefield and disaster-related injuries—massive hemorrhage. These wounds simulate high-volume bleeding, demanding fast, accurate hemorrhage control interventions using realistic field techniques such as:

• Direct hand pressure
• Knee or elbow pressure
• Wound packing with hemostatic agents
• Tourniquet application

Real-time occlusion feedback ensures that learners only succeed when pressure is properly applied, reinforcing precision and muscle memory under stress.

Integrated Vital Signs & Physiological Cues

The WBS-MATT-PB provides vital biofeedback features to elevate training realism. Learners can detect and interpret physiological indicators like:

• Palpable radial and carotid pulses
• Visible chest rise and fall for breathing
• Respiratory distress indicators
• Cyanosis or skin tone changes (when applicable in custom configurations)

These cues support real-time clinical decision-making and help learners build situational awareness under pressure. The system’s internal electronics simulate spontaneous breathing, allowing trainees to assess respiratory effort and intervene accordingly.

Airway Management and Respiratory Care

A cornerstone of trauma care is airway control, and the WBS-MATT-PB fully supports comprehensive airway management techniques, including:

• Oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airway insertion
• Endotracheal intubation
• Cricothyroidotomy for emergency airway access
• Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation

Trainees can assess the success of their interventions through auscultation of breath sounds and observable chest rise, which are synchronized with breathing patterns. These features ensure that airway management training is not only hands-on but also clinically accurate.

Thoracic Trauma Simulation

The WBS-MATT-PB enables the simulation and treatment of life-threatening thoracic injuries, including:

• Tension pneumothorax
• Needle chest decompression (NCD) with realistic air release and feedback
• Bilateral chest tube insertion

These interventions are crucial for managing penetrating chest trauma, a common cause of preventable battlefield deaths. Real-time feedback mechanisms inform instructors whether procedures are performed correctly, ensuring trainees develop competency and confidence.

Intravenous Access and Fluid Resuscitation

The model includes infusible intravenous (IV) sites with flashback cues that mimic real vein access. This allows learners to perform:

• Peripheral IV insertion
• IV fluid resuscitation
• Intravenous medication administration

This is a key component of trauma care, especially in prolonged field care and mass casualty environments.

CPR and Cardiac Assessment

The WBS-MATT-PB is CPR compatible, allowing learners to perform chest compressions with proper depth and rate, which can be monitored and assessed through integrated feedback systems. The ability to shift seamlessly between trauma care and resuscitation makes the simulator a critical tool in training for multi-phase, dynamic care.

Remote-Controlled, Real-Time Training

One of the most powerful features of the WBS-MATT-PB is the trauma simulator’s long-range remote control system. This instructor interface allows for:

• Real-time manipulation of vital signs
• Dynamic scenario evolution (improvement or deterioration)
• Immediate feedback on learner actions
• Data logging for post-training review and debriefing

This functionality transforms traditional training into responsive, scenario-based learning, where outcomes depend directly on learner actions and decisions.

Animatronic Movement for Realism

To further enhance immersion, the WBS-MATT-PB incorporates animatronic movement, simulating involuntary patient actions such as leg movement, tremors, or muscle tension. This challenges trainees to manage not only the clinical aspects of care but also patient interaction and physical control in unstable, high-stress environments.

Optional Add-Ons for Expanded Scenarios

The WBS-MATT-PB can be configured with optional modules, including:

• Amputation arm for upper-limb trauma management
• Burn arm for practicing burn treatment and dressing
• Additional sensor packages for more in-depth monitoring

This modularity allows instructors to customize the training to meet specific needs, such as combat casualty care, burn triage, or urban search and rescue.
