TruCorp’s TruInfant IO Leg offers a realistic paediatric training model for IO Infusion in the tibia, IV cannulation in the foot, and Intramuscular Injections in the thigh. With its newly designed material, the IO Leg allows for increased realism in IC Cannulation and IM Injection training.
Designed to replicate the leg of a 5 month old infant in the 50th percentile, it features the dorsal venous arch, great saphenous vein, and lesser saphenous vein, the TruInfant IO Leg supports procedures in a variety of different locations, increasing training opportunities.
Ensure consistent performance and long terrm usability, with the TruInfant Replacement IO Inserts and legs. Set up takes less than 5 minutes, with quick and easy replacement parts minimise downtime in lessons.
