Does anyone have supplier to recommend for a practice model for ports? We just re-did the policy and are on the list for skills day. I don't know if these even exist!
Body in a Box from VATA is also great - I don't use Chester Chest (although we have a few at our institution), so I can't speak to all of the features, but the Body in a Box is very small and portable, much less expensive than Chester, and allows you to simulate difficult situations such as a movable port, atipping port, or a very deep port.
ChesterChest from VATA best one I know of. Lynn
