TruCVC

The TruCVC is an adult upper torso trainer for teaching best practices in central venous catheter insertion using ultrasound guidance.

This ultrasound-guided simulator features correct and realistic vascular anatomy.

TruCVC provides unmatched realism for developing central line skills in needle insertion, wire manipulation, and catheter placement under live ultrasound guidance.

Model features:

• Head already positioned into the optimal location at 10 degrees leftward rotation. This positions the right neck with anatomical landmarks accessible, enabling ergonomic practice of right-sided cannulation techniques. 
• Adjustable base allows for 15-degree Trendelenburg positioning
• Realistic vascular tenting upon vessel access
• Fluid injection/withdrawal capabilities to confirm needle tip placement
• Full central venous catheter placement and Seldinger techniques can be practised with a recommended 8Fr catheter 
• TruUltra material enables 40+ catheter insertions (full seldinger technique: 20+ per site, jugular vein & subclavian vein) and 1000+ needle insertions per insert
• Simple fluid mechanisms to allow rapid blood refill for continuous training 
• Arterial pulse simulation with hand pump activation
• Suture pad provided to practice suture technique and preserve the durability of the ultrasound insert. Pack of 3 available for purchase.

Why Choose this Model:

• It is durable! The TruCVC does not have a limited shelf life, therefore this unit can be used over an extended period of time without vast deterioration to the insert. 
• The product facilitates 40+ catheter insertions (full seldinger technique), 20+ insertions per site (jugular vein & subclavian vein) using the recommended equipment sizes and 1000+ needle incisions. 
• It is realistic! Containing the internal jugular vein, subclavian vein, carotid artery, and subclavian artery.  
• Fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location. When vessels are accessed fluids can be withdrawn and administered 
• Set up in less than 5 minutes . No mess! Quick blood refill mechanism 
• Delivered in a durable carry case for easy transportation and safe storage
