Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Cannulation trainer that is placed directly on the arm of a person or a manikin. Its protective thermoplastic layer softens in hot water and is moulded around the arm, creating a stable, safe surface for needle insertion.

The layered construction, silicone skin, muscle layer and integrated veins, reproduces real tissue resistance. The two veins are partially visible and fully palpable, and by keeping pressure on the proximal syringe flashback is obtained on cannulation. It fastens with Velcro and is compatible with standardised patients and static models.

The tubes can be rotated or replaced, and the small punctures that appear with use can be repaired with a silicone repair kit.
