Description
This revolutionary training arm offers complete venous access for IV therapy and blood sampling, as well as sites for intramuscular and intradermal injections. A comprehensive 8-line vascular system allows students to practice venipuncture at all primary and secondary locations, including starting IVs and inserting IV catheters over the needle.
The venous system simplifies setup with only one external fluid bag delivering artificial blood to all veins simultaneously. The dorsal side of the hand includes injectable metacarpal, digital, and thumb veins.
The antecubital fossa includes the median cephalic, median basilic, and median cubital veins. Venipuncture can also be performed along the basilic, cephalic, accessory cephalic, and median antebrachial veins.
Intramuscular injections can be performed in the deltoid muscle, and intradermal injection sites are located on the upper arm. Intramuscular injections in the deltoid muscle are enhanced by the soft, lifelike skin and natural bone markings in the area.
Intradermal injections of distilled water will create characteristic skin blisters at designated locations on the upper arm. The realism of the Life/form® Advanced Venipuncture and Injection Arm is truly astonishing.
The soft, flexible fingers are sculpted separately with extreme attention to every detail - right down to the fingerprints! Wrist flexion helps students develop manipulative skills.
The replaceable skin rolls as the veins are palpated, and a noticeable "pop" is felt when penetrating the veins.
The Life/form® molding process reproduces the fine details of the skin to make the arm lifelike and realistic. Valves in the veins can be seen and felt on the skin surface. Simulated veins and skin are completely replaceable to keep this training arm looking and functioning like new.
Under normal use, hundreds of injections can be performed before the veins or skin need to be replaced. Complete replacement kits are available and easy to use.
To extend the life of the veins, an aerosol sealer is available to seal punctures and prevent leakage. Includes 2 quarts of simulated blood, 3 cc syringe, 12 cc syringe, needle, two fluid bags, instruction manual, and hard carrying case. Fluid supply stand not included.
