The only available teaching model which permits the practice of Placing Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Lines (PICC Lines). The rapid acceptance and use of PICC Lines creates a need to be able to properly teach this procedure. Peter PICC Line™ allows both the teaching and assessment of this insertion technique. This portable, lightweight teaching model features

The only line of "see-thru" manikins available for teaching Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Lines (PICC Lines). The specialized cloth insertion sites, on both the left and the right arm, allow a procedural window to properly teach the PICC Line procedure. Medpicc™ allows both the teaching and assessment of the PICC technique. This portable, lightweight teaching manikin features: anatomically-correct basilic, cephalic, jugular, subclavian, and superior vena cava paths. Visual ribs and heart permit practice in measuring proper catheter length. The manikin can be used for confirmation of proper placement by viewing the catheter in the transparent superior vena cava. This model can be used for standard IV catheter placement. Includes soft carrying case. Measures 28" H x 28" W.

Heart Catheterization Simulator for: Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) and Central Venous Catheterization.  Now you can Train Residents and Staff in the Techniques of Performing : Central Venous Catheterization using the  Life/form® Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) Simulator.   Approaches:  Subclavicular,  Jugular,  Peripheral (Antecubital Fosa)

This CVC Simulator includes three interchangeable pads for the puncture area, landmark puncture pad, ultrasound puncture pad, and transparent cannulation block. The trainee will learn three skills: how to make a safer puncture, how to avoid possible complications that may accompany the puncture, and how to insert the catheter into the correct position. When the procedure is performed incorrectly, the error will show immediately by feedback. Each training pad, placed at the right upper breast and right half of the neck covering the puncturing sites and catheter routes, is a precise, life-size model incorporating the anatomical structure of bones, veins, arteries, and upper lung. The landmark puncture pad is designed to provide training in safely puncturing the subclavian vein or internal jugular vein, and inserting a catheter into SVC. Carotid artery pulsation is palpable. The ultrasound puncture pad allows training in internal jugular vein puncturing under ultrasound scanning. Clear scanning image facilitates understanding of how to distinguish vein from artery and perform safe puncture while watching an ultrasound monitor. A transparent block for three-dimensional anatomical understanding also works as an effective training tool for developing guide wire insertion skills.  

Designed for learning and practicing: CVC techniques, the Central Venous Cannulation Simulator is directed to the emergency medical field. ACLS and ATLS participants will find this simulator to be the ideal trainer. Anatomically accurate, palpation is exactly the same as on a patient. The sternal notch, sternocleidomastoid, clavicle, and other supporting features make this simulator a pleasure to work with. Internal features include a replaceable muscle and bone section, subclavian, internal jugular, external jugular, and carotid.
Use of a Swan-Ganz catheter is possible and changing of the internal tubing is extremely easy. The neck of the simulator is positioned to the left, making landmark identity quite easy visually. The sternal notch "sinks" 1 to 1-1/2 cm when palpated. All external and internal landmarks correlate to a live patient. Modified to meet ATLS and ACLS standards, this simulator has proven itself in the emergency medical field.
Central Venous Cannulation Simulator includes: replaceable skin, tubing sealant, needles, one quart of Blood, and instruction guide in a hard storage case.

This is a unique, Catheterization simulator is Life - Size, compact, portable teaching-training simulator, enables medical students, nurses, health providers, pharmaceutical laboratories to develop total competence & experience with three of the most common types of long-term Vascular access Devices (VAD'S):
* Implanted Vascular access devices
* External Central Catheters
* Peripherally Placed Central Catheters

Access routes allow opportunity to practice blood withdrawal, heparinization, and fluid infusion. This simulator can be used in either an upright or supine position This life-like training model is provided with a prepositioned surgically placed central catheter and peripherally placed central catheter. The distal ends of each catheter are attached to "blood" reservoir bags. The external jugular vein is slightly raised with an opening for your catheter placement, permitting the practicing of dressing techniques. Routine accessing can be practiced aver the nonreceassed rib area. A blood reservoir bag, tubing and connector are in place for easy attachment of your implantable vascular access devise. The artificial blood provides confirmation of proper needle location when "blood" is aspirated - just the real thing! Hepatarisation & fluid infusion can be practiced using the secondary reservoir bag. The device accessed area used for practicing dressing & securing techniques.

With this Catheterization Simulator possible to train residents and staff in the techniques of performing central venous catheterization. All appropriate landmarks are palpable for realistic identification of insertion sites. Synthetic skin may be removed from shoulder to reveal dissected musculature and location of veins, arteries, and other landmarks. With the skin in place, you can actually insert the needle introducer. The tactile sensation is dramatically realistic. Artificial blood is connected to provide confirmation of proper needle location when “blood” flows from needle, just like the real thing! Venous catheters can be snaked into place once the introducer is properly inserted. Use of a Swan-Ganz catheter is possible. Skin and veins will stand up to repeated puncture to allow training by dozens of staff members. The skin and veins are easily replaced once worn. Also practice proper care of the puncture site and parenteral administration of fluids. Practice measuring central venous pressure. Bandaging techniques can be practiced with no fear of infection or other harm to a patient. In emergency medical training programs, practice delivery of large volumes of fluids in trauma. Inject for swift action as required for cardiac life support procedures. Includes replaceable skin, tubing sealant, needles, one quart of blood, and teaching guide in a hard storage case. Three-year warranty. Size: 28" x 17" x 10". Supply and replaceable parts available call: 800-686-5232

Reproduction of a male chest mounted on a collapsible easel designed for training in vascular access device maintenance and dressing central venous catheters. Teach patients and healthcare staff the care and use of two different types of Catheters with this model. Features: left and right subclavian catheter connections that may be flushed with water; and a PORT-A-CATH¨ implanted Venous Access System with a "skin" flap over the implant to allow viewing. Made of skinned, lightweight urethane foam, this model may be washed with soap and water, or painted with antiseptics.  Mounted on a collapsible easel and packed with its own carrying case.
