In the tradition of Life/form® products, the Hemodialysis Practice Arm features the realistic appearance and performance necessary to provide ideal practice for trainees or patients. This valuable training aid is easy to set up and use to demonstrate preparing the patient's arm for hemodialysis. An established fistula is accessible and the system can be pressurized with artificial blood so that there is an actual flashback when a needle is introduced. The artificial blood approximates the pale shades usually common in dialysis patients. Easily maintained, this simulator is designed with replaceable skin and vascular system. Complete with one pint Life/form® venous blood, one pint Life/form® arterial blood, two fluid supply bags, instruction booklet, and soft carry case. Five-year warranty.

The vendor recommends using only small diameter needles (20-25gauge). This will prolong the life of the skin and veins. (In a patient, needles ranging from 15-17 gauge would be used)
