TruInfant IO Leg TruCorp

TruCorp’s TruInfant IO Leg offers a realistic pediatric model for IO Infusion training. It gives lifelike resistance when penetrating the medullary cavity and positive user feedback of blood withdrawal.

The anatomy of the leg allows for identification of the proximal tibia needle insertion site, using the tibial tuberosity and patella as landmarks.

A simple 3-step process to replace the IO Leg Inserts means minimal disruption to training, as well as being pre-filled with blood for a no-mess setup.

Supports completion of core parts of:

• Emergency medicine curriculum, with trainees being able to perform insertion of an intraosseous needle independently
• Family medicine curriculum, with trainees learning intraosseous and intravenous vascular access

Features:

Overview

• Realistic trainer for practicing the skills associated with intraosseous (IO) infusion of the tibia
• Ready to use straight from the box – package comes with three replacement inserts
• Minimal to no clean up with the pre-filled IO Legs
• IO Access at the proximal tibia

Realism

• True to life anatomy allows for identification of the proximal tibia IO
• Accurate resistance can be felt when penetrating the medullary cavity
• Successful technique allows for blood withdrawal for positive user feedback
• Realistic tibial tuberosity and patella

Versatility

• No set up required, comes ready to use out of the box
• Lightweight and easy to transport
• Quick changing IO leg inserts reduce disruption to teaching time

Cleaning

• Use mild detergents or enzymatic cleaning agents to wipe the surfaces of the IO trainer
• This pediatric IO simulator can be fully sanitized by wiping the silicone skin with a 75%+ alcohol spray
• Always allow components to thoroughly dry before storing

Safety

• IO Leg Inserts are single use only
• Each replacement IO Insert can support only low volume fluid infusion
• Recommended IO needle size to penetrate the medullar cavity is 18G

Please do not use any of the following when cleaning the product:

• Germicides, disinfectants, or chemical agents such as glutaraldehyde (e.g. Cidex®)
• Ethylene oxide, phenol-based cleaners, or iodine-containing cleaners

Anatomy

• Infant right leg, accurately based on a 5-month-old infant
