Vaccine IM Injection Trainer (Pack of 10) - Dark
Limbs & Things’ Vaccine IM Injection Trainer is the ideal simulation trainer to facilitate the practice and administration of intramuscular tissue injection techniques, including vaccinations. Supplied as a pack of 10, the IM Injection Trainer enables mass tabletop learning in all training environments.
The trainer features realistic and easily identifiable tissue layers that represent the epidermis, dermis, adipose, and muscle. The receptive anatomical layers make this an ideal tool for teaching correct needle positioning to beginners and more clinically experienced individuals.
The fluid-absorbent skin pad allows learners to experience repeatable and realistic subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.
The IM Injection Trainer was developed in response to the global up-skilling of people during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that those administering the vaccines are trained correctly.
