Ultrasound-Ready | Clinically Accurate | Continual Training

TruCVC® ideal for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterisation training, enabling consistent practice of needle insertion, guidewire handling, and full catheter placement using the Seldinger technique – supported by realistic anatomy, visual flashback, and rapid reset for repeatable learning outcomes.

TruCVC® delivers clinically relevant upper torso and neck anatomy to support accurate landmarking and scanning, including:

Right Clavicle
Manubrium
First Right Rib
Sternocleidomastoid Muscle

Core vascular structures include:

Internal Jugular Vein
Subclavian Vein
Carotid Artery
Subclavian Artery

Designed for full skill development under live ultrasound guidance: needle insertion, wire manipulation, dilation and full catheter placement. Learners can visualise vessel tenting on access and use fluid injection/withdrawal to confirm needle tip placement.

Head positioning is pre-configured at 10° leftward rotation to expose the right neck and ensure anatomical landmarks are accessible for ergonomic right-sided cannulation practice.

The adjustable base enables 15° Trendelenburg positioning to support clinically aligned approach and learner technique standardisation.

Learners can utilise fluid injection/withdrawal to confirm needle tip placement, with arterial pulse simulation available via hand pump activation to reinforce vessel differentiation and decision-making.

Built with TruUltra® self-regenerating material to support 1,000+ needle punctures and 40+ full catheter insertions per insert (20+ per vein site), enabling dependable throughput and long-life utilisation.

Set-up time is under 5 minutes with no mess. A simple fluid mechanism supports rapid blood refill, helping maintain continuous classroom flow.

The system is compatible across ultrasound machines and engineered to keep learner flow moving in busy teaching environments.

EVIDENCE-BASED LEARNING

How Ultrasound Guidance Improves CVC Placement Performance

Clinical guidance summarising comparative evidence indicates that ultrasound-guided internal jugular cannulation can materially improve procedural performance versus landmark technique – improving first-attempt success (54% → 73%), reducing needle advances (2.8 → 1.4), shortening time to cannulation (117s → 61s), and lowering arterial puncture rates (8.43% → 1.39%). (Troianos, C.A. et al., 2011).

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.

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.

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.

What package contents will arrive with my order?

What equipment sizes are recommended?

We recommend the use of:
• Size 8Fr (16cm long catheter).
• 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?

Yes, real feel vascular tenting will be experienced upon entry into a vessel and fluid can be withdrawn if the procedure is successful. You can also simulate a pulse through simple hand pump provided with the product.

How do I replace the TruCVC insert?

Please follow the instructions in the product user manual to insert fluid. The process should be no longer than 5-10 minutes!

Does the TruCVC require assembly?

No, this training model is delivered fully assembled. Simply follow the instructions in the product user manual to insert fluid and you can begin training immediately after. The fluid insertion process should be no longer than 5-10 minutes! Add ultrasound gel to the surface of the product and ultrasound probe prior to use.

What warranty comes with the TruCVC?

This training model comes with a 1-year warranty. Warranty begins from date of delivery.

My TruCVC model needs to be repaired. How can I arrange this?

Please contact us and provide the serial number (found under the manikin base) and an image/video of the issue. If it meets the warranty conditions TruCorp will repair free of charge. If the warranty has expired, our sales team will provide a quote for repair.

How should I store the training model when it is not in use?

Please store the manikin in clean, dry conditions away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with metals, solvents, oils or greases and strong detergents. When the product is not in use please store in the black carrier case provided.

What can I use to clean the training model?

Thoroughly wash the product with warm soapy water until all residue is removed.

Please do not use any of the following:
• Germicides, disinfectants, or chemical agents such as glutaraldehyde (e.g. Cidex®)
• Ethylene oxide, phenol-based cleaners or iodine-containing cleaners

In response to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend this additional step to ensure the product is fully sanitized:

Generously spray alcohol spray or gel (minimum 75% alcohol) and wipe off. Repeat 3-4 times to fully disinfect the product. This can also be used to assist with ensuring the wound dressing sticks accordingly.
