The Blue Phantom Thyroid Biopsy Ultrasound Training Model provides a realistic, repeatable platform for learning and perfecting ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (FNB) of the thyroid gland. Constructed using SimulexUS™ self-healing tissue, this model closely mimics the acoustic and tactile properties of real human tissue—making it an essential tool for procedural training, simulation programs, and clinical skills refinement.
Designed for use with any ultrasound imaging system (7.5–15 MHz linear transducer recommended), this training model includes detailed thyroid and surrounding neck anatomy, such as the left and right thyroid lobes, isthmus, trachea, esophagus, carotid arteries, and internal jugular veins. Multiple embedded masses and lesions, including a multinodular goiter and both simple and complex nodules, enable users to develop diagnostic scanning skills and procedural confidence.
Each lesion offers distinct sonographic characteristics—from hypoechoic to echogenic, and echolucent with echogenic or hyperechoic rims—creating a lifelike training environment for FNB targeting and needle visualization. Users can inject fluid to confirm needle tip placement, and the model automatically expels fluid to allow repeated practice without requiring resets.
Whether you’re introducing new learners to neck ultrasound or refining biopsy techniques for experienced providers, this model delivers value through its durability, realism, and cost-effective training experience.
