Pre-order now — stock expected October.

Thora-IQ is a high-fidelity chest trainer designed for hands-on practice of two of the most critical thoracic trauma interventions: needle decompression and chest drain insertion. Anatomically accurate landmarks, lifelike palpation, and an integrated skeletal structure help learners correctly identify the site before carrying out each procedure, building the muscle memory needed when it counts.

Replaceable components support genuinely repeated training, from needle insertion and decompression through to blunt dissection, chest drain placement, and suturing tubes into position — giving instructors a realistic, reusable platform for practising essential thoracic trauma skills session after session.
