The SPRinT programme makes bespoke models for specialist cardiothoracic simulations. These models are used in our training courses and some are also available for hire or purchase.
TOM open chest model
TOM is the world’s first high fidelity patented emergency resternotomy model. TOM has been specifically designed to simulate emergency resternotomy for cardiac deterioration/arrest following cardiac surgery.
TOM is designed and developed by clinicians and educators. It is the only model on the market able to replicate the level of realism required to engage the whole multi-disciplinary healthcare team in emergency resternotomy.
TOM is ideal for team training within the cardiac intensive care and operating theatre setting, and is able to simulate a realistic tamponade or catastrophic haemorrhage.

The model was devised by Royal Brompton’s SPRinT team along with Health Cuts, a company specialising in prosthetics for medical training, TV and film.
Harley is used to train clinical staff so they experience first-hand the intricate care needed by children with heart problems.
