Patent attributes
A technique simulator for training in a technique using a catheter includes: a flow path configured to contain a liquid that imitates blood; a liquid flow generation member configured to generate flow of the liquid; and a catheter insertion port configured to allow the catheter to be interposed into the flow path. The flow path includes: a bifurcated portion that is located downstream of the catheter insertion port and is to be bifurcated into at least two flow paths, and a plurality of bifurcated flow paths provided downstream of the bifurcated portion. The plurality of bifurcated flow paths includes a first bifurcated flow path and a second bifurcated flow path. The technique simulator further comprises a pressure difference generation member configured to cause a pressure difference to be generated between a downstream side of the first bifurcated flow path and a downstream side of the second bifurcated flow path.
