Nita Newborn Infant / Baby Access Simulator

Unique, anatomically correct Simulator representing a 4 lb., 16" female baby developed to teach and practice the vascular accessing of newborns and infants.

An invaluable teaching Aid, this simulator permits instruction in the skills associated with:

• accessing,
• securing,
• dressing,
• site care,
• maintenance for standard venipuncture, central catheters, PICC lines, and 5FR umbilical catheters.

Features:

• Access the median basilic and axillary veins on the right and left arm
• Right leg - saphenous and popliteal veins
• Neck and head - external jugular and temporal (scalp) veins
• Realistic flashback of simulated “blood” confirms proper needle location in the vein
• Practice blood withdrawal, fluid infusion, and heparinization with all veins
• Lifelike umbilicus allows repeated catheterization with a 5FR umbilical catheter, with proper placement verified by a blood return
• Now with redesigned umbilical valve
• An umbilical tape can be tied around the umbilicus to secure the catheter
• Nasal and oral openings allow placement of nasal canulas, as well as endotracheal, nasogastric, and feeding tubes to teach suctioning, securing, dressing, cleansing, care, and maintenance
• Veins now made of latex-free Derma like™.

• When accessing, the skin rolls as you palpate the vein and a “pop” is felt as the needle enters
• Vein size and wall thickness provide the realistic feel and appearance of a newborn
• Simulated, translucent skin allows visualization of the underlying blue veins
• Veins may be accessed repeatedly with a small gauge needle

Nita Newborn™ includes a flexible body, blue veins made of latex-free Derma like™, translucent “skins” on the head, R and L arms and L leg, fluid bag with attached tubing, simulated blood, diaper, and soft carrying case.
