Outline

This valuable task trainer is ideal for practice in giving Intravenous puncture. It realistically mimics an arm providing complete venous access for IV therapy which permit detailed exercises in venipuncture so that the technique can be mastered before actually administering to patients. The venipuncture can also be performed along the median cephalic, median basilic, and median cubital veins.
