What makes the TruUltra ultrasound material so unique?

The TruUltra material is unlike anything else in the market. It showcases a high-quality ultrasound image to provide trainees with a true-to-life ultrasound training solution. Learners will benefit from realistic visualisation of the internal jugular and subclavian veins, carotid and subclavian arteries.

The TruCVC does not have a limited shelf life, therefore this unit can be used over an extended period of time without vast deterioration to the insert. 

What skills can I teach using the TruCVC?

An adult male head which enables learners to gain proficiency in:

True-to-life needle insertion, catheter advancement, fluid infusion/withdrawal, and hands-on procedural experience.

What age of patient is the TruCVC designed as?

The TruCVC is designed as an adult male patient.

Why can't I visualise the veins clearly?

Poor quality ultrasound images are caused by air inside the blood. To improve the image, insert more blood into the jugular, subclavian, common carotid. Approximately 50ml (veins) and 20ml (arteries) should be sufficient.

How often do I need to replace the ultrasound insert?

The ultrasound insert facilitates 40+ full catheter incisions (20+ full insertions per site - Jugular vein & Subclavian Vein) using the recommended equipment sizes and 1000+ needle penetrations.

Why is the insert leaking when I refill blood into the veins?

This is normal! Sometimes when refilling blood into the system, you may see some small leaks on the insert from old punctures. This is caused when the blood is being refilled too quickly through the syringe. To minimize the leakage, enter the fluid slowly.

• Size 20G needle for IV cannulation is recommended for optimal performance. Do not use a needle larger than 18G needle.
We do not recommend the use of a scalpel for the initial incision or sutures to complete the procedure as this will affect the durability of the unit. Please use the suture pad provided for this step of the procedure.

Does the training model provide user feedback to indicate successful procedures?
