A unique, anatomically correct representation of a 4-lb (1.8 kg), 16" female baby developed to teach and practice the vascular accessing of newborns and infants, including the availability of those veins uniquely used in this age group.

A great tool for teaching, training, competency testing and skills assessment. The Nita Newborn Venous Access Simulator by VATA offers the following features:

• Barely discernable blue veins under the replaceable translucent "skins" on the head, right and left arms and the right leg
• Veins are now made with latex-free Dermalike II - with 50% less needle drag when accessing and improved tear resistance to permit a greater number of needle "sticks".
• The veins presented include the temporal, external jugular, post-auricular, basilic, cephalic, saphenous and popliteal
• When accessing a "pop" is felt as the needle enters the vein followed by a realistic flashback of simulated blood confirming proper needle placement
• The veins were specifically designed to have a small internal diameter, as you would find on a small baby, to make accessing more challenging, improving technique and confidence
• You can practice accessing, securing, dressing, site care, and maintenance for standard IVs and PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter)
• A redesigned umbilicus and umbilical valve allows repeated catheterization with a 5Fr umbilical catheter with proper placement verified by a blood return
• Nasal and oral openings allow placement of nasal cannulas, as well as nasogastric, and feeding tubes to teach suctioning, securing, dressing, cleansing, and maintenance
• Now 100% Latex-Free with redesigned umbilicus and umbilical valve
