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.
Overview
- 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
Cleaning
- Model can be wiped with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent
- Flush tubing of simulated blood and flush with clean water
- Allow components to dry thoroughly before storing
Safety
- Do not leave needles in the trainer when not in direct use
- Do not place excessive pressure on the model, this could damage the trainer and/or the adjustable base unit
