Enhance Difficulty with Tongue Edema Functionality

All TruCorp® adult and pediatric AirSim® airway heads come with the ability to simulate tongue edema as standard—offering greater realism in airway management training. The AirSim® Difficult Airway model builds on this capability, incorporating multiple advanced features including:

  • Laryngospasm simulation with mechanical reversal for positive feedback
  • Displaced larynx and macroglossia
  • Limited mouth opening (trismus) and mandibular anomalies
  • Neck mobility restrictions for simulating cervical arthropathy
  • Full front-of-neck access for needle and surgical cricothyroidotomy

This trainer enables dynamic adjustment of difficulty levels—ranging from moderate to extremely difficult intubation scenarios—ensuring comprehensive skill development from foundational through advanced levels
