What is IV cannulation?
TruBaby X arm and leg can detach to be used as standalone IV task trainers.
Intravenous cannulation is when a cannula (a small, thin plastic tube) is placed in a vein to allow for blood drawing or administration of fluids including medication.
IV insertion techniques
Intravenous insertion is an essential skill that requires practice and confidence to perform successfully. Our professional-grade IV trainers have been developed to provide an advanced medical training experience to improve patient safety and treatment.
IV insertion techniques that can be practiced using TruCorp trainers include:
- Infection control measures
- Visual and palpable vein assessment
- Appropriate cannula gauge selection
- Tourniquet placement
- Needle insertion and venipuncture
- IV catheterization & advancement
- Securing/taping IV tubing
