Overview
- Excellent image quality and image of the needle tip
- Replaceable puncture pads
Realism
- Palpable ribs and right clavicle allow measurement of catheter length as well as providing anatomical understanding of correct PICC tip location
- Anatomically correct bifurcation of the vein in the upper chest provides realistic resistance of its outer walls and allows simulation of complications such as incorrect insertion of the catheter into the jugular, thoracodorsal or subclavian vein.
- Realistic ‘flash-back’ confirms successful venous access
Versatility
- Movable shoulder for training in correct positioning of the arm

- Patient positioning
- Puncture site selection
