Clinical Simulation
Suprapubic Tube Exchange
About This Course
What you'll experience
70-year-old Richard Warner is visiting his healthcare provider for a routine suprapubic tube exchange procedure. This VR simulation is designed to help practitioners practice the suprapubic tube exchange procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient. With both training and assessment modes, learners can perform the procedure and assess themselves on their performance.
Learning Objectives
- Demonstrating infection control practices by using proper hand hygiene and sterile technique
- Replacing the suprapubic tube safely using correct removal and insertion methods
- Confirming placement of tube by checking urine flow, inflating the balloon, and ensuring comfort

Core Skill
Performing Suprapubic Tube Exchange
As part of the Suprapubic Tube Exchange procedure, the learner will begin by confirming patient identity and obtaining consent before safely removing and discarding the existing catheter. Using proper sterile techniques, they will prepare the new catheter, perform a balloon test, and clean the stoma area. Learners will then insert the new catheter, inflate the balloon, and verify correct placement, ensuring patient safety and procedural accuracy.
All necessary affordances are provided to complete the procedure with efficiency.
