Skill Development

• Practice the full vascular access procedure using the femoral vein under ultrasound guidance or blind/landmark insertion techniques
• Practice palpating external landmarks to identify vessel location
• Practice use of ultrasound for:
  • Developing psychomotor skills required for obtaining visualization during cannulation.
  • Visualizing arterial pulse and venous compression.
  • Identifying the anatomical location of the target vessel.
  • Visualizing needle cannulation, threading guidewire, and catheter placement.
  • Practicing femoral arterial puncture, catheter insertion or blind/landmark techniques.

Features

• Anatomically correct, ultrasound compatible, body form, with all relevant palpating landmarks and vascular anatomy.
• Market leading durability—self-sealing tissues and veins provide the greatest value, in the frequency of needle sticks and full catheterizations per access site, of any trainer on the market.
• Exceptional ultrasound imaging through repeated use—needle sticks and full catheterizations do not degrade the image acuity.
• Two colors of simulated blood differentiate the arterial and venous vessels—provides immediate feedback of unsuccessful cannulation.
• Arterial pulse is present and vein realistically compresses under palpation.
• Easily adjustable venous pressure regulator allows for vein compression or low-pressure simulation scenarios.
• Replaceable tissues come pre-filled with blue venous and red arterial fluid. Tissues can remain filled when not in use and are easy to refill with provided fluid when necessary.
• Portability—practice simulation in settings of actual patient care.
