TraumaFX Site

The TraumaFX® Canine Medical Trainer (K9 HERO) is a full-body medical trainer for Operational Canine First Responders, Military Working Dog (WMD) handlers, Veterinarians, and veterinary technicians.  Designed in partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD), K9 HERO is a state of the art skills trainer for novices and experienced alike.  All training sites are realistic to replicate the look, feel, and function of actual medical procedures.  The exterior of the simulator has been hand-sculpted to mimic a Belgian Malinois and is covered in durable, non-staining synthetic fur.  K9 HERO allows learners to perform critical life-saving tasks such as maintaining an airway, needle decompression/thoracocentesis, hemostasis, IV insertion, Intraosseous (I/O) infusion, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), tracheostomy, and bandaging.

Remote Controlled with Real-time Sensor Data
K9 HERO is operated by a long-range RC controller which includes real-time telemetry to monitor medical interventions. Easy to use software takes only minutes to learn. LED indicators and LCD readouts immediately display key vital and intervention data, providing instructors with instant feedback on the effectiveness of student interventions and push-button control to modify features such as pulse rate, pulse strength and bleeding.
