Intramuscular Injection Simulator

Description

Life/form® Intramuscular Injection Simulator

Here is the perfect volunteer for training your beginning health care students to administer intramuscular injections. Always available for class demonstrations or practice by groups of 1 to 30, the Nasco Life/form® Intramuscular Injection Simulator offers both visual and tactile learning.

A simulated bony structure is embedded in the torso and represents:

• the superior end of the femur

• or greater trochanter

• the posterior superior and anterior superior iliac spines

• and the sacrum

The bony structure provides palpable anatomical landmarks so students can identify proper injection sites.
A section of the upper, outer quadrant of the left gluteal area is cut away to allow students to visualize the underlying structures.

The Intramuscular Injection Simulator shows:

• The gluteus medius

• the gluteus maximus muscles

• sciatic nerve

• and vascular structures

Three types of intramuscular injections can be taught and practiced on this simulator:

• dorsogluteal injections

• ventrogluteal injections

• and vastus lateralis injections.

As with all Life/form® replicas and simulators, the Intramuscular Injection Simulator is extremely realistic. Skin and muscle textures, as well as bone shape and position, closely resemble a live patient. As a result, perforation of the tissue with a needle duplicates the sensation of administering an actual injection.

Life/form® Intramuscular Injection Simulator comes complete with teaching guide, supply of syringes, and carrying case.
