TruCVC | Central Line Task Trainer | TruCorp

TruCVC is the latest addition to TruCorp's ultrasound-guided task trainers, specifically designed to aid in central venous catheter (CVC) insertion.

With realistic and accurate vascular anatomy, TruCVC offers unmatched realism to aid in developing central line skills, including:

Needle insertion
Wire manipulation
Catheter placement (under ultrasound guidance)

With its user-friendly base, the upper torso can be adjusted to a 15-degree angle for Trendelenburg positioning, allowing the trainer to simulate the elevation of the patient's lower limbs.

Highlights

Unmatched realism for developing central line skills
Ultrasoundable torso module
Simple mechanisms can be set up in under 5 minutes

Realism

Realistic vascular anatomy
Accurate head positioning
Vascular tenting upon vascular access
Arterial pulse simulation possible
Simulator allows for withdrawal and administration of fluids

Versatility

TruUltra material is durable for repeated use
Adjustable base to position head for optimal positioning
TruUltra material supports 40+ catheter insertions (20+ per site - jugular vein & subclavian vein) and 1000+ needle insertions per insert

Anatomy

How often do I need to replace the ultrasound insert?

The ultrasound insert facilitates 40+ full catheter insertions including use of a dilator (20+ full insertions per site - Jugular vein & Subclavian Vein) using the recommended equipment sizes and 1000+ needle penetrations. Avoid using a dilator for each insertion, and avoid use of a scalpel for extending life of insert.

Why can I visualise the veins clearly?

Poor quality ultrasound images are caused by air inside the blood. To improve the image, insert more blood into the jugular, subclavian, common carotid. Approximately 50ml (veins) and 20ml (arteries) should be sufficient.
