Vascular Access Training Model: Canine Head

Record number: 5055

Category: Anatomy, Handling and Medicine

Type: Model


Description: The head and neck model consists of a sculpted mandrel containing channels for a simulated jugular vein covered with a moveable latex "skin".   This model can be used to teach advanced techniques such as placement of through-the-needle catheters, special procedures like the Seldinger (guide wire) Technique for placement of multi-lumen and pulmonary artery catheters, and blood collection techniques with a syringe and needle, or through an existing catheter.   Includes an instructional video film.   This is one of two Vascular Access Training Models (VATMs).   Please see record number 5056 for the Canine Foreleg model.   VATMs are designed to provide students with the correct "look" and "feel" while learning to give injections, place catheters or draw blood.   Special features of the VATMs include identifiable and palpable structural landmarks, replaceable vessels (tubing), flashback response, and a moveable, replaceable latex skin and components to provide longevity for the model.
