I remember that back in the day, when my wife was a training paramedic, she used to come back home with blue arms and swollen veins. Everyone thought she was being abused… well, she was sort of. You see, the students had to practice venipuncture on each other, and it takes some time until you know how to find a vein.
But today, when my wife teaches her students, she uses an injection training arm. It’s simple and easy to use and it’s the ideal way to teach venipuncture and injection techniques without taking unnecessary risks. Before the training arm, you had to find willing volunteers (!) but now you can avoid patient injury and liability, while the students are learning new procedures.
