Nasco Life/form® Blood Pressure Simulator

The Life/form^® Blood Pressure Simulator teaches physical assessment and helps resolve the uncertainties common in teaching students to take blood pressure. This simulator provides an excellent means to practice listening to and distinguishing blood pressure sounds prior to actual clinical experience.

Often when working with a live patient, pressures are difficult to auscultate, making accurate evaluation of student proficiency nearly impossible and undermining the student’s self-confidence. With this realistic unit, the student can find the preset results and the instructor can know with certainty if the student has performed the procedure accurately.
