The Hungry Manikin has been developed to demonstrate and teach the technique for inserting a nasogastric tube and a G-tube or PEG probe in a gastrostomy. Due to the transparent (children's) torso, it is clearly visible where the probes are located. The model has a movable epiglottis to simulate swallowing.
What skills can you train with the Hungy Man?
- Measuring, placing and fixing the nasogastric tube
- Gastrostomy tube insertion (PEG)
- Gastric juice aspiration so that proper placement can be checked
