Overview
Limbs & Things' Standard Venipuncture Arm is now available in value packs of 5. Alongside 5 Standard Venipuncture Arms, each pack includes an additional 5 replacement arm skins, and 5 replacement ACF veins.
The new and improved Standard Venipuncture Arm is an ideal trainer for basic and advanced learning. Incorporating a unique skin-locking system (patent pending) and modular vein systems to accurately simulate venipuncture, IV cannulation, and IV infusion training.
What are the benefits of these new model Venipuncture arms?
Unique Skin Locking System - ensures the model is easy to re-skin whilst maintaining the lifelike palpability and haptics of the underlying basilic, cephalic, dorsal metacarpal and median cubital veins.
Features
Overview
Vein structures are now modular with a separate ACF vein and Metacarpal Vein, allowing for replacement of individual parts.
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.
Veins in the metacarpal & ACF modules are palpable.
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.
