Vascular Access Training Model: Canine Foreleg

The Canine Foreleg was constructed in the same way as the Canine Head simulator and contains a simulated cephalic vein. It can be used to teach students blood collection, fluid and drug administration, and the fundamentals of catheterization using the butterfly and over-the-needle catheter. Includes an instructional video film. This is one of two Vascular Access Training Simulators (VATMs). 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 simulator.

Comments & References: This simulator was developed by Dr. Jan Ilkiw with funds provided by a gift from the Bosack Kruger Foundation of Redmond, Washington. It was manufactured exclusively for the School of Veterinary Medicine at University of California, Davis.
