Avcath by Avkin is a revolutionary wearable urinary catheterization simulator that brings unmatched realism to one of the most sensitive and essential clinical procedures. Designed to be worn by a live standardized patient (SP), this high-fidelity simulator allows learners to practice urinary catheterization with a level of realism that cannot be achieved with traditional manikins.
The device includes interchangeable, anatomically accurate genitalia—both male (circumcised and uncircumcised) and female—offering a comprehensive training experience for learners at every level. Whether learners are inserting a catheter, maintaining proper technique, or troubleshooting resistance or patient discomfort, Avcath replicates the real-life experience of caring for a live patient.
Avcath features an integrated hydraulic system that simulates urine flow once the catheter reaches the bladder compartment. This fluid return provides immediate visual and tactile feedback, reinforcing successful technique. The system uses antimicrobial simulated urine that remains safe and sanitary between sessions, and the internal components are fully compatible with common tools like betadine, lubricants, and standard catheter kits. The simulator also supports bladder scanning and palpation prior to insertion, ensuring a complete, start-to-finish learning experience.
To add another layer of realism, Avcath provides haptic vibration cues to the standardized patient when the catheter enters the urethra or bladder. This feedback enables the SP to react in real time, helping learners develop empathy and appropriate bedside communication skills. The wearable unit fits comfortably around the waist, allowing for easy setup, repositioning, and repeatable use in high-volume training environments.
Ideal for nursing programs, EMS education, and clinical skills labs, Avcath bridges the gap between task trainers and patient interaction. It allows learners to practice in a psychologically safe environment while still being challenged by the real-time dynamics of human response. Avcath is a game-changer in clinical education—prioritizing realism, communication, and confidence in urinary catheterization.
