Venatech IV Trainer, Light

Skills

• Venepuncture technique: cephalic, basilic, and median cubital veins
• Intravenous (IV) catheter insertion and phlebotomy
• Arterial blood gas (ABG) simulation
• Recognition and correction of accidental arterial puncture
• Patient positioning and communication skills

Features

The Venatech IV Trainer is a patented wearable training device that attaches to a live subject’s arm, enabling learners to practise venepuncture and IV insertion techniques with realistic positioning and patient interaction, without the risks associated with puncturing human tissue.

The trainer includes the three primary veins used in phlebotomy: the cephalic, basilic, and median cubital veins, positioned in correct anatomical locations. An integrated arterial vessel supports arterial blood gas simulation and demonstrates how to recognise and correct an accidental arterial puncture. The compact and economical design means each student can have their own trainer, eliminating wait times during skills sessions. The Venatech trainer is also well suited to dynamic training environments such as ambulance simulation, where positioning and patient communication are critical skills.
