Standard Venipuncture Arm
An ideal trainer for basic and advanced learning, the NEW Standard Venipuncture Arm utilizes unique skin-locking and modular vein systems to accurately simulate venipuncture, IV cannulation, and IV infusion training.
Our skin locking feature (patent pending) ensures the model is easy to re-skin whilst maintaining the lifelike palpability and haptics of the underlying basilic, cephalic, dorsal metacarpal and median cubital veins. Precisely mirroring a male right arm, the model effectively simulates real-life venipuncture occurrences, including blood flashback and the use of digital pressure to stem flow. The realistic arm skin and a new innovative vein gripping mechanism work in unison to further enhance realistic and repeatable training, whilst a cost-effective modular vein system promotes ease of use and reduces waste.
A robust Gravity System Blood Supply allows for efficient learning in a classroom environment.
Features
Overview
• Cost-effective vein modules reduce waste and are easy to replace
• Realistic and palpable vein haptics promote accurate clinical use
• Easy-to-fit skin-locking system (patent pending) increases anatomical realism
• New vein gripping feature facilitates correct vein positioning, repeatable training and an easier re-skinning and re-veining process
• Robust and reliable gravity blood supply is easy to set up and clean
• Infusion tube allows for IV fluids to be administered
• Can be used in conjunction with a simulated patient
Realism
• Realistic representation of the antecubital fossa (ACF) and metacarpal vein regions
• Provides realistic blood flashback
• Increased realism of the arm (look and feel)
• Gripping system provides true-to-life vein placement
Versatility
• Compatible with vacuum blood collection systems, needle & syringe, and IV cannulas
• Durable skin
• Extended tubing allows for extra manoeuvrability in a classroom setting for use with a simulated patient
• Veins can withstand up to 500 stabs from a 21g needle
• Arm can be upgraded through purchase of the Advanced Pressurized Pump
Cleaning
• Can be cleaned with all standard clinically used training products
• We recommend the use of a small amount of Milton disinfecting fluid when cleaning
Safety
• Veins contain latex
