Portable IV Arm and Hand Trainers
The economical Portable IV Training Arm and Hand combine realism, fine detail, and lightweight
convenience in a single trainer. These self-contained trainers are packaged in a plastic case that can be
converted into a work station. Trainers include everything you will need to begin training and practicing IV
skills.
The Portable IV Training Arm and Hand Trainers are constructed of soft material with life-like veins
in the skin surface that are visible and palpable. Veins are accessible at the antecubital fossa, along the
forearm, the back of the hand, and thumb veins, making it possible to practice venipuncture at any of the
common sites. When puncturing through the vinyl skin and veins, the skin will actually roll as you palpate
the veins and the characteristic pop can be felt as the needle penetrates the vein.
These trainers are the ideal way to teach venipuncture techniques including starting IVs and introducing Over the Needle IV catheters, and a realistic flashback will be observed when the needle has been accurately inserted into the vein. These trainers are inexpensive enough so that each student can have their own arm and hand to practice technique and skills required in their courses. Under normal use, hundreds of injections may be performed. The skins and veins cannot be changed and trainers will eventually need to be replaced.
