Pediatric simulation arm for injections and venipuncture, 5-year-old child, Erler Zimmer EZ-R17676

The Erler Zimmer EZ-R17676 Pediatric Simulation Arm for Injections and Venous Blood Draws (5-Year-Old Child) is an educational model designed for training in the main techniques of medication administration and vascular access in pediatric patients. It replicates the arm of a child approximately five years old and allows for practice in intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injections, blood draws, and infusion procedures, taking into account the anatomical characteristics specific to pediatric patients.

Establishing venous access in children requires particular precision, as their blood vessels are generally smaller than those of adults. This simulator allows students to become familiar with pediatric procedures and to develop the manual dexterity necessary to locate access points and perform the puncture correctly, without directly involving a young patient.

The arm features an anatomically realistic venous network, designed for venipuncture and blood collection exercises. On the back of the hand, there are two additional veins, allowing students to practice peripheral venous access in this region, which is frequently used in pediatric clinical practice.

The venous circulation simulation system is equipped with a manual pump that allows users to adjust the filling of the vessels, simulating distended or collapsed veins. This feature enables training exercises at different difficulty levels and helps train practitioners to recognize various vascular conditions during the preparation and performance of the procedure.

In addition to intravenous techniques, the simulator features areas dedicated to subcutaneous injections on the flexor and lateral surfaces of the forearm. There is also an intramuscular injection site in the deltoid muscle region, allowing users to practice administering medications via this route.

The artificial skin and veins are designed to withstand numerous punctures and can be easily replaced when necessary. This feature allows the simulator to be used for repeated training sessions, maintaining the functionality of the training areas over time and reducing the need to replace the entire model.

The arm comes mounted on a support base and is equipped with a blood simulation system, complete with a bag and holder, artificial blood concentrate, and a manual pump for regulating venous filling. The package also includes a replacement skin cover, a soft carrying bag, and the instruction manual.

The Erler Zimmer EZ-R17676 pediatric simulator is particularly suitable for undergraduate nursing and medical programs, pediatric nursing training programs, clinical simulation centers, and hospital departments that organize continuing education activities. It allows students to acquire and refine the skills necessary for managing venous access and administering medications to pediatric patients through repeatable exercises in a controlled environment.

Included accessories:

• Simulation arm for pediatric injections, modeled after a 5-year-old child
• Support base
• Simulated blood bag with holder
• Artificial blood concentrate
• Manual pump for adjusting venous filling
• Replacement skin covering
• Soft carrying bag
• Instruction manual

This model serves as an educational tool for training in pediatric nursing procedures, allowing students to practice various routes of parenteral administration and blood collection techniques using a simulator sized appropriately for the patient’s age.
