TruIV Block (Light Skin Tone)
TruCorp’s TruIV Block is efficient and easy to set up, giving more time for learning IV cannulation skills and ultrasound techniques
Designed to represent a variety of patient types, it contains both superficial and deeps veins at a range of diameters (4-8mm). It also features fascia layers for enhanced realism.
Made with the self-healing TruUltra material, this IV trainer is capable of repeatable practice for over 4000 needle penetrations across the 8 veins. As the block rests, the needle marks disappear by up to 90% in 24 hours.

How much set-up does the training model require before it can be used in practice?
Once out of the box, there are two steps to take before training can begin.
- Prime with artificial blood – prepare approximately 200ml of concentrated blood (available separately) and fill the two vein compartments as per the user manual
- Apply ultrasound gel – apply gel to the block and/or probe as required
This process shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes, for full instructions, you can download the User Manual from the “Download” tab.
