Advanced Venipuncture Arm - Dark
An ideal trainer for all levels of learning, the NEW Advanced Venipuncture Arm utilizes a pressurized 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 Pressurized 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
- Advanced Pump System reduces internal leakage for a more user-friendly experience
- Cost-effective vein modules reduce waste and are easy to replace
- Realistic and palpable vein haptics promote accurate clinical use
- Easy-to-fit skin-locking system (patent pending) increases anatomical realism
- New vein gripping feature facilitates correct vein positioning, repeatable training and an easier re-skinning and re-veining process
- Infusion tube allows for IV fluids to be administered
- Can be used in conjunction with a simulated patient
Realism
- Realistic representation of the antecubital fossa (ACF) and metacarpal vein regions
- Using the Advanced Pump, the arm operates at an accurate blood pressure
- Provides lifelike blood flashback
- Increased realism of the arm (look and feel)
- Gripping system provides true-to-life vein placement
Versatility
- Compatible with vacuum blood collection systems, needle & syringe, and IV cannulas
