Home / Medical simulators / Injections / Basic Venipuncture Arm

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?

Through feedback and research, Limbs & Things have improved key features across the venipuncture training range.

The new models are designed with increased realism. With the inclusion of a vein gripping system and more durable arm skin, vein haptics offer an increased life-like response in training simulations.

Extended tubing between the arm and blood system allows for easier set-up in training scenarios with simulated patients

An updated, robust, Gravity System Blood Supply reduces the risk of tipping during demonstrations, and allows for efficient learning in a classroom environment.

SKILLS GAINED

• Intravenous Cannulation in dorsal metacarpal and ACF sites
• IV infusion
• Venipuncture
• Practice of aseptic techniques
• Communications skills when using a simulated patient

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
