 This trainer is an anatomically correct model of newborn female baby developed to review the principles,
skills and tools necessary for insertion, assessment, dressing care, securement and maintenance of vascular
access devices (VAD’s) in infants.
A unique, latex-free, anatomically correct representation of female baby developed to teach and practice the
vascular accessing of newborns and infants, including the availability of those veins uniquely used in this
age group. There are barely discernable blue veins under the replaceable translucent skins; on the head,
right and left arms and the right leg. Veins are now made with latex-free material – with 50% less needle
drag when accessing and improved tear resistance to permit a greater number of needle sticks. The veins
presented include the temporal, external jugular, post-auricular, basilic, cephalic, saphenous and popliteal.
When accessing,as the needle enters the vein a realistic flashback of simulated blood confirms proper
needle placement. The veins were specifically designed to have a small internal diameter, as you would find
on a small baby, to make accessing more challenging, improving technique and confidence. You can
practice accessing, securing, dressing, site care, and maintenance for standard IVs and PICC (Peripherally
Inserted Central Catheter). A redesigned umbilicus and umbilical valve allows repeated catheterization with
a umbilical catheter with proper placement verified by a blood return. Nasal and oral openings allow
placement of nasal cannulas, as well as nasogastric, and feeding tubes to teach suctioning, securing,
dressing, cleansing, and maintenance. A great tool for teaching, training, competency testing and skills
assessment.
