Blue Phantomâ„¢ Select Series Branched 4 Vessel vascular access ultrasound training model will help clinicians develop, practice, and maintain the skills necessary for ultrasound-guided venous access and arterial access procedures. This is a lightweight model that is very portable making it ideal for travel and training wherever you want, whenever you want. This training model is excellent for clinicians who are beginning to use ultrasound as well as for more advanced users who are seeking training in more challenging vascular access insertion techniques. The branched vessels offer multiple training scenarios such as independent linear vessels for initial training in addition to multiple overlapping branched vessels that allow for more advanced ultrasound training.

Blue Phantom is committed to providing the highest quality ultrasound training models available anywhere. This ultra-durable medical ultrasound model offers a cost-effective solution for clinicians of all experience levels. They are constructed using Blue Phantomâ„¢'s patented ultra-durable simulated tissue. This model matches the acoustic characteristic of human tissue allowing clinicians to repeatedly use this training aid without the high costs of replacing disposable parts. Blue Phantomâ„¢'s 4 Vessel model can be used thousands of times without requiring replacement.

The Branched 4 Vessel ultrasound-guided vascular access training model contains a blood vessel that branches into 4 vessels positioned at differing depths and courses throughout the model. Trainees can image the bifurcating vessels, track the course of the vessels, and guide needles into the targeted vessel using ultrasound imaging. Clinicians will gain experience acquiring and interpreting ultrasound images of blood vessels as well as developing the psychomotor skills associated with guiding needles to simulated vessels.

Students can practice imaging skills, such as using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of vessels in soft tissue, using ultrasound to target individual linear vessels, and using the more complex branched vessel anatomy to refine and advance their approach to ultrasound-guided vascular access procedures.

Students can gain experience by choosing to guide needles to individual vessels or, for more advanced training, target overlapping branched vessels at different depths as would be experienced in a human patient. Once users accurately access the vessels within the model, fluid flow provides the user with positive feedback that they have accessed the targeted vessel.

The Blue Phantom Select Series Branched 4 Vessel vascular access ultrasound training model medical simulation trainer will provide excellent results using any ultrasound imaging system configured with the appropriate transducer (recommended ultrasound transducer is a high-frequency linear array ultrasound probe 5.0 – 12 MHz). This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including anesthesiology (anaesthesiology), emergency medicine, radiology, nursing, PICC nursing, surgery, ultrasound training programs, simulation centers, surgical skills centers, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations.  Excellent for both beginners and more advanced users to develop skills associated with arterial access, vein cannulation, venipuncture, central line placement, and PICC lines.
