Life/form® Pediatric Injectable Head

Life/form® Pediatric Head

The Advanced Pediatric Scalp and Jugular Venipuncture Simulator provides an invaluable, highly realistic platform for pediatric nursing programs, emergency medicine residencies, and clinical simulation labs. Anatomically modeled after a six-month-old infant, this specialized head trainer allows clinicians to master the delicate art of infant peripheral intravenous (IV) cannulation and fluid infusion. By providing genuine anatomical response, the model successfully trains students to safely localize micro-vessels and build critical tactile confidence before treating real pediatric patients.

Curriculum-Focused Key Features

• Realistic Tissue Rolling Response: Engineered with a lifelike vinyl skin overlay that subtly shifts and rolls under manual palpation, perfectly mimicking the difficulty of stabilizing a newborn's scalp veins.
• Dual-Access Infusion Pathways: Features precision-placed vascular tubing modeling the easily accessible temporal vein structure alongside deeply realistic jugular vein access points.
• Authentic Puncture Feedback: Built with a custom synthetic rubber vascular network that delivers a true tactile "pop" upon successful needle entry, accompanied by realistic fluid flashback.
• Flexible Palpation Profile: The neck region is molded from a specialized soft-density foam, ensuring an authentic anatomical resistance when positioning the head or checking alignment landmarks.
• Renewable Simulation Design: Fully compatible with quick-change replacement skin and vein kits, allowing cost-effective refurbishments for multi-semester classroom deployment.

Recommended Lab Maintenance

To maximize the operational life of each skin and vascular set, it is highly recommended to use 20-gauge or smaller sharp infusion needles during lab sessions to minimize track tearing. Punctured tubes can be easily repaired and sealed against fluid leakage by treating the site with the optional Life/form® Aerosol Tubing Sealant (SKU: LF01099U).
