Dual Lungs Comparison Kit

Dual Lungs Comparison Kit
By Calvin R. Femling, PhD. Now for the first time you can demonstrate both sets of lungs simultaneously for better lungs comparison with the new interconnected airway system. This system lets you compare the ventilation of both sets of lungs simultaneously, or shut off one of the upper valves to inflate only one set of lungs. Kit includes an interconnected airway system with dual trays; air pump; one pair of reusable, normal inflatable swine lungs with guide; one pair of simulated smoker’s lungs with guide; and one section of dried swine lung with a storage container. This dramatic demonstration kit provides an impressive, unforgettable, hands-on demonstration of how lungs work and the effects of prolonged smoking by using real swine lungs. Students are able to feel the texture and fragility of the lung, as well as learning that real lungs are not like rubber balloons in a bell jar. The smoker’s lungs have a palpable internal tumor and a physical simulated external tumor to encourage students to feel the texture of the lungs, and to remember that smoking is a known cause of lung caner. The inflatable swine lungs provided with each kit have been preserved with a Bioflex, nontoxic solution that retains the texture and elasticity of fresh lungs.
