IV Insertion

Adult IV Training Arm

Image

Image

The Adult IV Training Arm is a full-size adult arm that is specifically used for training professionals in the practice of:

Central Line Care

Chester Chest

Image

Included with this model is a real port that makes it possible to simulate accessing the following IVAD placements: normal, “tipping,” “wandering,” or deeply placed in the left chest area. Successful access is confirmed by a blood return. Fluid can be infused, and blood withdrawn from all the lines.

Chester Chest’s™ Port Access Arm has a dual 5Fr PICC exiting the basilic vein from the inner bicep area and a pre-positioned 20g IV catheter in the forearm. And proximal to the PICC insertion site is recessed area for the placement of an optional peripheral IVAD. The base of this recessed area for the optional peripheral IVAD is made of a soft material that permits the IVAD to “float” when palpated and accessed.
