LifeLike Embedded Veins Venipuncture Model
A realistic soft-tissue venipuncture model containing peripheral or peripheral-and-deep embedded vessels for conventional and ultrasound-guided needle insertion, vascular access and blood-draw training.
Realistic venipuncture and ultrasound-guided access training
The LifeLike Embedded Veins Venipuncture Model is designed for developing, retaining and assessing essential nursing, phlebotomy, vascular access and ultrasound-guided needle-insertion skills.
LifeLike Large Saphenous Veins are embedded within soft tissue beneath a 2.2 mm dermis layer. Trainees must identify the vessel position and control needle angle and insertion depth in a simulated tissue environment.
Choose the Small Peripheral configuration with three superficially positioned vessels or the Deep and Peripheral configuration, which adds four deeper vessels for a total of seven. Both versions are available with an optional syringe and connectors for pressurising the vessels.
Training applications
Venipuncture and blood drawing
Develop controlled needle insertion and blood-draw technique using vessels embedded beneath a realistic dermis layer.
Ultrasound-guided access
Locate peripheral and deep vessels using ultrasound before practising accurate needle placement.
Needle angle and depth control
Compare access to vessels positioned at different depths and improve control of needle approach and advancement.
Clinical skills assessment
Suitable for demonstrations, supervised skills sessions and structured competency assessment in universities and clinical skills centres.
