Transform neonatal and paediatric training with this realistic Neonate Scalp Venepuncture Training Model. It is a great resource for doctors and specialised NICU nurses.
The model contains the major veins of the scalp, including the superficial temporal vein and the frontal vein. These can be used for infusions, injections and phlebotomy practice.
Medical students and professionals will experience a realistic feeling when the needle penetrates the veins, as well as flashback if the needle has been inserted correctly. This excellent feedback mechanism not only offers a highly realistic learning experience, but will help trainees adjust and adapt their technique where necessary.
Considering venous access of the scalp is usually obtained after unsuccessful attempts of lower and upper limb cannulation, infants are likely to be unsettled during the procedure. Hence, initially practising on a stable and stationary model is valuable opportunity for healthcare professionals to first develop confidence in their skills.
Additionally, the skin of the model is realistic and durable. This ensures long-lasting training sessions.
