The ARTSY Pleural and Ascitic Aspiration Trainer is an advanced clinical skills simulator designed for the Shalya Tantra Department of BAMS colleges. It enables students to develop proficiency in thoracentesis (pleural aspiration) and paracentesis (ascitic fluid aspiration) through realistic, hands-on training. The simulator provides a safe and controlled environment where learners can practice these essential diagnostic and therapeutic procedures before performing them on actual patients.

Developed in accordance with Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), the trainer features anatomically accurate thoracic and abdominal landmarks, allowing students to understand proper needle insertion techniques, patient positioning, aseptic precautions, fluid aspiration, and complication prevention. It is an ideal teaching aid for surgical skill laboratories, hospital postings, faculty demonstrations, bedside procedure training, and OSCE/OSPE examinations.
