This patented IV trainer is so economical each student can have their own for venipuncture practice - no more precious class time wasted waiting for their turn! The clear skin allows beginning students to actually see the placement of a catheter or needle into the vein. This IV trainer is easily attached to a person's arm so the student can practice venipuncture techniques on a live subject, including the proper positioning on an actual human arm, without the risks associated with puncturing living tissue. The trainer includes the three main veins used in phlebotomy - cephalic, basilic, and median cubital - all in correct anatomical position. An arterial vessel is present on the trainer for arterial blood gas simulation, and can also be used as a tool for showing how to correct the puncture through a vein into an artery. Besides performing actual IV practice, the trainer helps students learn essential patient communication skills such as explaining the procedure to the patient, asking them to close their fist, etc.
