The proxSIMity Full Venipuncture & IV Arm Simulator combines two essential vascular access training platforms into a single full-length arm. Designed for versatility and efficiency, it features two independent modular sections - an elbow region and a wrist region - each with its own quick-swap replaceable units that allow users to instantly switch between different patient conditions, providing a wide range of realistic clinical scenarios within a single simulator.
Each replacement unit includes the skin and vein components and is built to withstand hundreds of punctures. When wear occurs, only the affected module needs replacement - making the system cost-effective, low-maintenance, and ideal for repeated institutional training.
The elbow region includes two anatomically accurate veins - the median cubital and cephalic - providing authentic vein palpation, flashback, and refill behavior for true-to-life venipuncture and IV practice. The wrist region features soft multilayer realistic tissue for lifelike catheter insertion training in the lower forearm. When connected to the proxSIMity Blood Circulation Unit (BCU) (sold separately), both regions deliver adjustable, pulsatile blood flow and precise control over pressure and flow rate for enhanced realism.
Available Patient Conditions
Patient 1: Healthy Adult – Regular veins, smooth skin
Patient 2: Elderly Person – Thinner veins, fragile, textured skin
Patient 3: Dehydrated Adult – Thin veins, lightly textured skin
Patient 4: Adult with Edema – Textured skin with swelling, palpable edema filling
Patient 5: Adult with Collapsed Veins – Smooth skin texture, veins collapsed with negative pressure
