Avtrach is a cutting-edge, wearable tracheostomy simulation solution developed by Avkin to address the limitations of traditional task trainers and manikins. Engineered for realism, Avtrach is worn by standardized patients, enabling learners to interact with live individuals instead of plastic forms—fostering authentic communication, empathy, and bedside manner skills.
The device features an anterior chest overlay that simulates a tracheostomy stoma with the ability to perform suctioning using antimicrobial simulated mucus. When a student inserts a suction catheter too deeply or applies excessive pressure, built-in haptic feedback mechanisms vibrate—alerting both learner and patient to unsafe technique. This real-time correction reinforces safe suctioning practices and enhances learner confidence.
Instructors can wirelessly control interchangeable lung sounds through a Bluetooth-enabled mobile app, allowing real-time changes based on clinical scenarios. Learners can auscultate the lungs and adjust care plans accordingly, building clinical reasoning skills. Avtrach is also compatible with ventilator setups, preparing students for real-world scenarios in respiratory care, nursing, and emergency medicine.
Designed with inclusivity in mind, Avtrach is available in multiple skin tones to ensure diverse and representative simulation training. Its lightweight, breathable materials ensure standardized patient comfort, even during extended sessions.
Whether in nursing education, interprofessional training, or respiratory therapy programs, Avtrach enhances simulation fidelity and prepares learners for effective, compassionate airway management in clinical practice.
Avtrach also supports interprofessional education (IPE) by allowing multiple disciplines to collaborate in a shared, realistic clinical setting. With Avtrach, learners gain the critical thinking, technical proficiency, and teamwork skills necessary to improve patient outcomes across healthcare environments.
