IV Cannulation Task Trainers

TruBaby X IV Cannulation

Pediatric IV Cannulation Training

TruBaby® X facilitates peripheral venous cannulation training at multiple IV sites (arm, hand & foot). Accurate venous anatomy allows for true-to-life hands-on needle cannulation training.

  • Hand & Arm: Dorsal venous arch, cephalic and basilica veins
  • Foot: Dorsal venous arch, great and lesser saphenous veins

A fully enclosed fluid management system gives realistic feedback and has adjustable flow (fluids can be withdrawn and administered). The durable materials permit 300+ needle punctures with no leaks (when using recommended gauge sizes).

Economical Venipuncture Practice

Our exclusive self-healing TruUltra® material is designed to withstand repeated needle insertions in a busy classroom setting. Left overnight (24 hours) TruUltra® regenerates up to 90%, giving the next day’s trainees fresh material without needle tracks. Replacement parts and consumable materials are quick and easy to interchange, facilitating efficient IV practice. Our unique design means NO LEAKS occur.

Adult PICC Line Insertion Training

The TruPICC® training arm facilitates both IV and PICC line insertion in adults. Features include:

  • Realistic visualisation of the median cubital, brachial and basilic veins
  • Real feel vascular ‘tenting’ upon entry into the vessel
  • Full catheter PICC line placement and Seldinger techniques can be practiced with the recommended catheter size.
  • Vascular anatomy of an entire arm including the brachial artery, brachial, cephalic basilic and median cubital vein
  • Ability to use ultrasound on the upper chest which contains the superior vena cava designed to allow users to verify correct catheter placement
  • Option to switch on/off flow to either the cephalic or basilic veins to prolong the life of the insert
  • Fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location. When vessels are accessed fluids can be withdrawn and administered

Ultrasound-Guided IV Insertion Training

TruNerve Block® is a versatile 3-in-1 ultrasound training block model featuring anatomically correct vessels and nerves in soft, responsive tissue. Trainees can practice ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia and vascular access procedures as well as routine IV cannulation. Features include:

  • Two embedded vessels, small/large and shallow/deep
  • Self-healing TruUltra material with up to 90% self-regeneration in 24 hours
  • Real-feel vascular ‘tenting’ upon entry into blood vessel
  • Colour Doppler detection of blood flow
  • Self-contained innovative fluid management system for ease of use and no mess

Ideal for medical education facilities, radiology, nurses, physicians, emergency medicine, simulation centers and ultrasound education.

IV Cannulation Techniques and Vascular Access Training Overview

Intravenous cannulation is when a cannula (a small, thin plastic tube) is placed in a vein to allow for blood drawing or administration of fluids including medication.

Intravenous insertion is an essential skill that requires practice and confidence to perform successfully. Our professional-grade IV trainers have been developed to provide an advanced medical training experience to improve patient safety and treatment.
IV insertion techniques that can be practiced using TruCorp trainers include:

  • Infection control measures
  • Visual and palpable vein assessment
  • Appropriate cannula gauge selection
  • Tourniquet placement
  • Needle insertion and venipuncture
  • IV catheterization & advancement
  • Securing/taping IV tubing
  • Starting an intraosseous line
  • Evaluating IV placement for infiltration
  • Administering or removing fluids

In addition to IV insertion, our training manikins facilitate practice in a wide range of critical skills including airway management, CPR, chest tube insertion and more.

Vascular access procedures involve inserting a catheter (a flexible thin plastic tube) into a blood vessel to draw blood or introduce medication directly into the bloodstream over a period of time ranging from weeks to years. A central venous catheter stays in place allowing repeated access without the need for repeated skin punctures.

Examples of treatments requiring vascular access include chemotherapy, IV nutrition, blood transfusions, hemodialysis and more. A PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter) is an example of a vascular access catheter that can stay in place for weeks or months.
