TruMan Trauma Adult Airway Management

What makes the AirSim® airway so unique?

The AirSim® airway has been designed using CT DICOM data from real patients, to provide trainees with a lifelike intubation training solution. Our airway and softer skin has been rigorously tested to withstand over 80,000 intubation cycles without failure. This ensures greater tactile accuracy, helping users develop critical airway management skills with confidence.

What type of lubrication can be used during intubation practice?

We recommend TruCorp’s lubrication for best practice, but alternatives can be used provided they are water-soluble lubricants. Please do not use silicone-based products as they will degrade the materials.

Does the TruMan Trauma Adult require assembly?

You will simply need to attach the chest drain inserts upon the manikin’s arrival and you will be ready to begin training immediately after. Generously spray the oral/nasal passages and equipment with the lubrication provided.

What equipment sizes are recommended?

Size 6.0-7.0mm ID for nasal intubation
Size 7.0-8mm ID for oral intubation
Size 3-5 for LMA laryngeal masks
Similar respective sizes for other supraglottic devices
Size 6 Anaesthetic face mask
14-gauge needle decompression needle, minimum 2-inch (5cm) length
32 Fr chest tube

Does the manikin provide user feedback to indicate successful or failed procedures?

Yes! Bilateral chest rise is achieved if intubated successfully. Single lung ventilation is also visible.

Can I make intubation more difficult on the TruMan Trauma Adult manikin?

The tongue can be inflated to simulate tongue edema. Attach an empty syringe to the connector located on the manikin’s left shoulder and insert approx. 20ml of air.

What warranty comes with the TruMan Trauma Adult?

The TruMan Trauma Adult manikin comes with a 2-year warranty. Warranty begins from the date of delivery.

My TruMan Trauma Adult manikin needs repairing. How can I arrange this?

Please contact us and provide the serial number (found under the manikin base) and an image/video of the issue. If it meets the warranty conditions TruCorp will repair free of charge. If the warranty has expired, our sales team will provide a quote for repair.

How should I store the manikin when it is not in use?

Please store the manikin in clean, dry conditions away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with metals, solvents, oils or greases and strong detergents. When the product is not in use please store in the black carrier case provided.

What can I use to clean the manikin?

Thoroughly wash the AirSim® airway in warm water. Please use warm soapy water or similar until all visible foreign matter and residue is removed. Mild detergents or enzymatic cleaning agents may be used on the airway at the proper dilution. The detergent must not contain skin or mucous membrane irritants.

Germicides, disinfectants, or chemical agents such as glutaraldehyde (e.g. Cidex®)
Ethylene oxide, phenol-based cleaners, or iodine-containing cleaners

In response to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend this additional step to ensure the product is fully sanitized:

Generously spray alcohol spray or gel (minimum 75% alcohol) and wipe off. Repeat 3-4 times to fully disinfect the product. This can be done on the silicone skin and the latex airway.
