TruInfant IO Leg (Dark Skin Tone)
TruCorp’s TruInfant IO Leg offers a realistic paediatric model for IO Infusion training. It gives lifelike resistance when penetrating the medullary cavity and positive user feedback of blood withdrawal.
The anatomy of the leg allows for identification of the proximal tibia needle insertion site, using the tibial tuberosity and patella as landmarks.
A simple 3-step process to replace the IO Leg Inserts means minimal disruption to training, as well as being pre-filled with blood for a no-mess setup.
Supports completion of core parts of paediatric medicine curriculum, with trainees being able to perform insertion of an intraosseous needle independently.
