Features

The Advanced Multi-Venous IV & Injection Arm is a full-size adult training arm designed for hands-on practice of venepuncture, blood drawing, IV insertion, intravenous infusion and injection techniques. Simulating the human arm from the shoulder to the fingertips, the trainer provides venous access throughout the arm and hand.

The internal vascular system includes eight fluid lines and veins with varying lumen diameters, allowing learners to practise primary and secondary vein access as well as rolling, disappearing, non-visible and non-palpable veins. These variations help learners develop technique beyond straightforward needle placement.

Learners feel a noticeable pop as the needle enters the vein, and when the vascular system is properly prepared and pressurised, realistic flashback occurs when the vein is properly punctured. Intramuscular injections can be practised in the deltoid area, and three intradermal injection locations on the outer upper arm form a characteristic skin welt when fluid is properly injected.

For IV injection, withdrawal and infusion procedures, Nasco Healthcare recommends smaller-diameter needles, generally 20 to 25 gauge, which also help extend the life of the replaceable skin and veins.
