Getting IV access for infants/toddlers is a challenging task, you need to practice more. - Infants are wriggly, their veins are small and they often have excess adipose tissue. Many pediatric nurse has few chance & experience of obtaining IVs for babies. Our IV simulator is designed to create a Pediatric IV scenario to help nurses/doctors practice more on Pediatric IV access.

Palpation skill demonstration & training. - Palpation is used to assess the depth, width, direction and health (resilience) of a vein. We design a visible & softer simulated vein with silicone material, it brings convenience for palpation demonstration & training.
