Develop total competence with the three most common types of long-term vascular access routes with one simple, portable training aid!

Peripherally Placed Central Catheter

A peripherally placed central catheter is prepositioned in the detachable right arm. The arm is in a rotated and extended position, enabling easy access. Both the cephalic and basilic veins are slightly raised for easy identification, with the long arm catheter exiting from the basilic vein. The catheter is pre-attached to a “blood” reservoir bag contained within the arm, which allows blood withdrawal, heparinization, and fluid infusion while attached or separated from the chest. Like the external catheter, the area around the catheter exit site is used to practice catheter care and maintenance.

External Central Catheter

The right chest area is provided with a prepositioned, surgically placed central catheter. The subcutaneous tunnel is visible up to and just over the clavicle. The Dacron cuff is also discernible. The catheter’s distal end is pre-attached to a “blood” reservoir bag enabling the clinician to demonstrate blood withdrawals, heparinization, and infusion techniques. The are(more...)
