This advanced IV training model has four barely discernible blue veins of three different diameters and a fourth vein deeply placed in a semi-transparent, tissue-like material which permits increased difficulty and improved skills when accessing. Made with latex-free Dermalike, which provides 50% less needle drag when starting an IV and improved tear resistance to permit a greater number of needle "sticks." When accessing, the skin rolls as the vein is palpated and a "pop" is felt as the needle enters the vein, followed by a realistic flashback of simulated blood confirming proper needle placement. Both the withdrawal of blood and the injection of fluids can be practiced on this large 5 in. x 10 in. x 1-1/2 in. model. An excellent model to practice the mechanics of the "no stick" IV catheters. Redesigned, the upright backing plate is now used as a protective snap-on cover over the tissue pad. The unique design allows for quick, easy setup. This lightweight, easily transportable, economical, and nonstaining training aid is the perfect alternative to heavier and more expensive models. Includes user manual.
