An ideal trainer for early learning, the NEW Basic Venipuncture Arm uses a unique skin-locking system and simplistic vein structure to facilitate accurate venipuncture, IV cannulation, and IV infusion training on an anatomically correct male right arm.

The realistic arm skin and innovative vein gripping system simulate accurate training features, including blood flashback and the use of digital pressure to stem flow. Our skin locking mechanism (patent pending) ensures the model is easy to re-skin whilst maintaining the lifelike haptics of the underlying and fully palpable basilic, cephalic and dorsal metacarpal veins.

What features can you find on the new Basic Venipuncture Arm models?

Overview

New and improved skin-locking system (patent pending) improves arm re-skinning after replacing a vein module
New vein gripping system allows for easy re-fitting and positioning of veins
Veins are palpable with realistic haptics for accurate clinical use
Infusion tube allows for intravenous fluids to be administered
Improved, gravity blood system

Realism

Arm provides a realistic blood flashback upon insertion of needle
Improved arm skin offers a more realistic look and feel
Vein module is palpable through the arm skin
Realistic representation of the antecubital fossa (SCF) and metacarpal regions
Gripping systems secures veins in a true-to-life position

Versatility

Arm is compatible with vacuum blood collection systems, needles & syringe, and IV cannulas
Extended tubing allows for extra maneuverability in the classroom for use with a simulated patient

Cleaning

Flush liquid from the vein and fluid system before storing your product
Clean the skin surface with a damp soft cloth, using warm water and mild detergent
Allow skin to thoroughly dry before storing

Safety

Only use Concentrated Venous Blood supplied with the arms, or product numbers 00020 & 00021, other fluids may weaken or damage the venipuncture simulator
Use water-based lubricant to fit arm skin over the venipuncture arm base
Veins contain latex, however, these are covered by the silicone arm skin during procedures

Simulated Patient

Suitable for use with a simulated patient to test communication skills

Anatomy

MN Phlebotomy Technician Certificate Program Curriculum During the 10-week program, students are required to perform approximately 100 successful phlebotomy collections within the outpatient setting prior to advancing to the inpatient setting. Students then continue with venous collections, though they are also exposed to arterial punctures, collecting specimens from arterial lines and assisting nurses with central line collections. Students must complete approximately 160 total clinical training hours.

We also accept members of the public who are planning to pursue a career as a hospital phlebotomist: “Participants will practise on simulation arms – never more than 2 participants per arm. After practising the skill on a manikin you will have the opportunity to take blood from a fellow participant providing they give consent. By the end of this session, candidates will be able to: Demonstrate appropriate infection control principles when performing phlebotomy. Use both the butterfly system and the vacutainer system to collect a blood sample. List the potential complications during and after taking blood. Take blood from a real person under supervision. You will NOT receive a certificate of COMPETENCE; only of Attendance. You cannot claim that you are competent in phlebotomy after only one successful attempt on a real person. Competence will be deemed by future employers and can vary between institutions.”
