Life/form® Advanced Venipuncture and Injection Arm

A revolutionary training arm that provides complete venous access for IV therapy and phlebotomy, plus sites for intramuscular and intradermal injections. An extensive 8-line vascular system allows students to practice venipuncture at all primary and secondary locations, including starting IVs and introducing IV catheters. The venous system simplifies set-up with only one external fluid bag supplying artificial blood to all veins simultaneously. The dorsal surface of the hand includes injectable metacarpal, digital, and thumb veins. The antecubital fossa includes the median cephalic, median basilic, and median cubital veins. Venipuncture can also be performed along the basilic, cephalic, accessory cephalic, and median antebrachial veins. Intramuscular injections may be performed in the deltoid muscle and intradermal injection sites are located in the upper arm. Intramuscular injections into the deltoid muscle are enhanced by the soft, lifelike skin and by the natural bony landmarks in the region. Intradermal injections of a specially supplied fluid will create characteristic skin welts at designated sites on the upper arm.
Flexion of the wrist helps students develop manipulation skills. The replaceable skin rolls as the veins are palpated, and a discernable "pop" is felt when entering the veins. Valves in the veins can be seen and palpated on the skin surface. Simulated veins and skins are completely replaceable to keep this training arm looking and working like new forever. Under normal use, hundreds of injections may be performed before the veins or skins need to be replaced. Complete replacement kits are available and easy to use. To extend the life of the veins, an aerosol sealant is available to seal punctures and prevent leakage. Life/form® Advanced Injection Arm includes 2 quarts simulated blood, 3 cc syringe, 12 cc syringe, needle, two fluid bags, instruction manual, and carrying case. One-year warranty.

Life/form® Intramuscular Injection Simulator

Item#LF00961U

Here is the perfect volunteer for training your beginning health care students to administer intramuscular injections. Always available for class demonstrations or practice by groups of 1 to 30, the Life/form® Intramuscular Injection Simulator offers both visual and tactile learning.
A simulated bony structure is embedded in the torso and represents the superior end of the femur, or greater trochanter, the posterior superior and anterior superior iliac spines, and the sacrum. The bony structure provides palpable anatomical landmarks so students can identify proper injection sites.
A section of the upper, outer quadrant of the left gluteal area is cut away to allow students to visualize the underlying structures. The gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles, sciatic nerve, and vascular structures are clearly shown.
Three types of intramuscular injections can be taught and practiced on this simulator: dorsogluteal, ventrogluteal, and vastus lateralis injections. As with all Life/form® replicas and simulators, the Intramuscular Injection Simulator is extremely realistic. Skin and muscle textures, as well as bone shape and position, closely resemble a live patient. As a result, perforation of the tissue with a needle duplicates the sensation of administering an actual injection. Life/form® Intramuscular Injection Simulator comes complete with teaching guide, supply of syringes, and hard carrying case. Three-year warranty. Carton size: 22" x 16" x 10".

Intramuscular Injection Model

Item#SB31026U

This high-tech medical model with realistic skin is perfect for teaching proper injection techniques and how to avoid nerves and veins. The see-through right side of the model shows internal structure including bones, muscles, nerves and veins. The gluteus medius, nerves, veins, ilium crista, and greater trochanter can be palpated to confirm the correct injection points. Fluid injected in the proper place is discharged through a drain tube into drain bag. A green light indicates correct injection technique and positioning – a buzzer and flashing red light warn students if they have gone too deep or needle position is incorrect. Dimensions: 15" H x 13-3/4" W x 8-1/2" D. One-year warranty.

Buttock Mate

Item#SB34774U

Practice injections on a live “patient.” Ideal for students to wear in order to understand the anxiety of real patients. Surface is very similar to a real body – leaves no needle marks! Simulated injection liquid can be injected into it. Features “sensitive point” for correct injection area, plus lights and a buzzer to provide feedback on correct and incorrect approaches. Light and compact injection simulator. Model has drain tube, drain bag, and belt to secure and position simulator on patient. 19-1/2" H x 13-5/8" W x 5-1/2" D. One-year warranty.

Musclemate

Item#SB40261U

Learn the correct position for intramuscular injection by palpation. Straps to arm for practice. Simulator is light and compact. The special skin has no needle marks. Bones such as acromion enables training for palpation. Includes a built-in buzzer and flashing red lights in case of injection at a wrong point. Use with artificial injection fluid.

Intramuscular Injection Simulator

Item#SB40228U

This high-quality simulator represents a right upper arm with all important anatomical palpable landmarks such as the acromion and humerus. It allows practicing correct intramuscular and subcutaneous injections in an exceptionally graphic way. The built-in fine electronics produce audio-visual feedback of the result, e.g. correct or incorrect injection, bone contact, or wrong localization. Additional trainings and control modes optionally provide an immediate or subsequent performance check under training conditions. The included lifelike silicone skin is extremely durable and can be quickly and easily exchanged when necessary. The simulator is supplied with two “AA” batteries, a detailed instruction manual, replacement skin, 5-ml syringe, and a 21G/0.8 injection needle.

IM Hip Simulator

Item#LG02095U

The IM Hip Simulator allows visualization of the relationship of bone to muscle while training the administration of medication via dorsogluteal injection. Realistic anatomical structures enable visualization of internal anatomy: sacrum, innominate, upper femur, and coccyx; sciatic nerve and sacral plexus; gluteus maximus and gluteus medius; and femoral artery, vein, and nerve. Student is able to visualize the line from the posterior superior iliac spine to the greater trochanter of the femur. Skin wrap simulating subcutaneous fat aids student in learning to determine appropriate needle length.

Injection Trainer

Item#SB38728U

Multi-layered, soft tissue pad for the practice of intradermal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular tissue injection techniques. Features: multiple tissue layers representing epidermis, dermis, fat layer, and muscle layer; tissue is soft and warm to the touch; epidermis layer may be peeled back to release the intradermal liquid, and replaced in seconds; liquid injected into the intramuscular pad can be squeezed out; long-lasting, replaceable epidermis; trainer can be strapped to the arm for role playing; and trainer is easy to assemble and disassemble. Package includes: strap-on base plate; soft tissue tray containing subcutaneous pad, intramuscular pad, and sponge; and epidermis. Ideal for practicing professional-to-patient communication.
