UK Nursing Conference Featured Products
METIman®
After much anticipation, METI’s new patient simulator, METIman, was unveiled at this year’s UK Nursing Conference. Providing all the power of a METI at half the price of other high-fidelity simulators, METIman caused quite a stir among the attendees. METIman is available in two models, one for Nursing training and one for Prehospital training. Both models are fully wireless with on-board fluid, pneumatic and electrical systems and are built tough to withstand a wide variety of real-life, indoor and outdoor learning environments.

Müse™
Also introduced at the conference was METI’s brand-new, touch-screen capable user interface, Müse. Müse represents an unprecedented milestone in patient simulator operation combining all the power of METI’s “model-driven” technology with “on-the-fly” control. It makes running a simulator easier, faster and friendlier. And, its compatible with PC and Mac systems. Learn more >>
