1 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
1 30, this 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 gluteus medius and
gluteus maximus muscles, sciatic nerve, and vascular structures
are clearly shown. Three types of intramuscular injections can be
taught and practiced on this simulator: dorsogluteal, ventrogluteal,
and vastus lateralis injections. Skin and muscle textures, as well as bone
shape and position, closely resemble a live patient. As a result, perforation of the 1
tissue with a needle duplicates the sensation of administering an actual injection. Comes
with supply of syringes, and hard carrying case.

2 Intramuscular injection simulator
This highly realistic model consists of a special plastic that gives the user the feeling of
working on an actual human patient. All anatomical structures are present and palpable.
The injection sites are constructed in multiple layers, corresponding to the human
anatomy, in order to convey a natural feeling during needle insertion. Sensors, located
away from the correct injection sites, sound an acoustic alarm if needles are placed
incorrectly. The injection can be administered realistically with fluid, since the model has
a drainage system. The injection sites must be localized using the Hochstetter method.
The skin and the injection fields are separately available and replaceable. The simulator
2 can be operated on battery power. Comes complete with transport case.
