Advanced Venipuncture Arm Value Pack (Mixed)
An ideal training pack for all levels of learning, the NEW Advanced Venipuncture Value Pack includes 4 Advanced Venipuncture Arm Trainers, 4 ACF Vein Modules and 4 Venipuncture Arm Skins. This cost-effective set includes two Advanced light arms, and two Advanced dark arms.
The Advanced Venipuncture Arm utilises a pressurised pump and unique locking system 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. Realism is further increased by the Advanced Pressurised Pump, which operates at a realistic blood pressure to provide trainees with a true-to-life and mess free learning experience.
The realistic arm skin and a new innovative vein gripping mechanism work in unison to deliver realistic and repeatable training, whilst a cost-effective modular vein system promotes ease of use and reduces waste.
Overview
- Vein structures are now modular with a separate ACF vein and Metacarpal Vein, allowing for replacement of individual parts
- New and improved skin-locking system (patent pending) improves arm re-skinning after replacing a vein module
- New vein gripping system allows for easy re-fitting and positioning of veins
- Advanced Pump System reduces internal leakage for a more user-friendly experience
- Veins are palpable with realistic haptics for accurate clinical use
- Infusion tube allows for intravenous fluids to be administered
- Includes pressurized blood system
Realism
- Arm provides a realistic blood flashback upon insertion of needle
- Improved arm skin offers a more realistic look and feel
- Veins in the metacarpal & ACF modules are palpable
- Realistic representation of the antecubital fossa (ACF) and metacarpal regions
- With the Advanced Pump, the advanced venipuncture arm operates at an accurate blood pressure
- Gripping systems secures veins in a true-to-life position
Versatility
- Arm is compatible with vacuum blood collection systems, needles & syringe, and IV cannulas
- Extended tubing allows for extra maneuverability in the classroom for use with a simulated patient
Cleaning
- Flush liquid from the vein and fluid system before storing your product
- Clean the skin surface with a damp soft cloth, using warm water and mild detergent
- Allow skin to thoroughly dry before storing
Safety
- Only use Concentrated Venous Blood supplied with the arms, or product numbers 00020 & 00021, other fluids may weaken or damage the venipuncture simulator
- Use water-based lubricant to fit arm skin over the venipuncture arm base
- Veins contain latex, however, these are covered by the silicone arm skin during procedures
Simulated Patient
- Suitable for use with a simulated patient to test communication skills
