How does the IV leg model simulate real infusion operations?

Intravenous infusion leg model plays a crucial role in medical education and nursing training, it can highly simulate the real human leg intravenous infusion operation, and provide a safe and effective practice platform for students. Here is a detailed explanation of how the IV leg model simulates real infusion operations:

Structure simulation:

The IV leg model uses a highly simulated design to simulate the anatomy of the lower limbs of Asian adults, including skin, muscle, blood vessels, etc. Its skin is made of imported plastic materials, with soft and elastic characteristics, and the touch of real skin is close.

The vascular system in the model is also carefully designed, including the great saphenous vein, the medial superficial femoral vein, the lateral superficial femoral vein, the small saphenous vein, and the dorsal venous network of the foot, etc. All these vessels can be punctured.

Material selection:

The materials used in the model are both safe and durable, ensuring that students will not cause damage to the model during operation. At the same time, the material is specially treated to make it easy to clean and disinfect, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the model.

Operation simulation:

Students can perform puncture operations on the model using real infusion needles and tubes. When the needle is successfully inserted into the blood vessel, the model can simulate the sense of resistance and frustration, so that students feel the real piercing experience.

After a successful puncture, students can inject simulated blood or liquid medicine into the model through an infusion tube. The pipeline system in the model can simulate the real blood circulation process, so that the liquid medicine flows in the model, so as to simulate the real infusion effect.

Blood simulation:

To enhance the fidelity of the operation, some advanced IV leg models are also equipped with simulated blood. When the needle is inserted into the blood vessel and withdrawn, the student can see the red simulated blood entering the syringe. This visual effect makes it easier for the student to understand and master the essentials of the infusion operation.

Repeat:

Another advantage of the IV leg model is that it can be practiced repeatedly. Because the model is made of highly durable materials, students can perform multiple puncture and infusion operations without fear of damage to the model. This opportunity for repeated practice helps students become proficient in intravenous infusion techniques.

In summary, the IV leg model provides students with a near-real IV operating environment through its highly simulated design, high-quality material selection, and realistic operation simulation. This simulated environment not only helps students understand and master the technology of intravenous infusion, but also improves their practical ability and technical level.
