Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) Training System
The LCC training system is a realistic, simulation-based medical manikin that is used to practice the LCC procedure. It was developed under the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. The LCC training system allows students to rehearse the LCC procedure until they are comfortable with, and proficiently able to perform, the procedure. The LCC training system has single-use replaceable eye inserts that simulate the pressure of a proptotic eye, relevant anatomical landmarks of the eye and orbit, tendon strumming, and tendon cutting. Once the procedure is done correctly, the pressure behind the eye is relieved. Condition: Non-penetrating ocular trauma is mostly due to blunt trauma to the face. These injuries can result in a compartment syndrome of the orbit, easily decompressed through the use of a simple procedure, performed emergently, a Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC). The LCC is an eyesight-saving procedure that can be performed very quickly and with few instruments. It allows for a release of pressure on the optic nerve caused by a Retrobulbar hemorrhage and can be performed in the field, or at the bedside, with few instruments that are readily available to medics or other emergency medical personnel.

Usability evaluations of the LCC Trainer have been performed at numerous U.S. Army Medical Centers. In total, 19 Military Medical Training locations have received and utilized the LCC training system, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
“Model and training method is rapid, effective, and fun! Highly recommend continuing this training.” |
“One of the most realistic models I’ve used in training!” |
“Dramatically increased my comfort with a lateral canthotomy inferior cantholysis.” |
