Nasco Life/form® Adult Venipuncture and Injection Training Arm
The Life/form® Venipuncture and Injection Training Arms are the ideal way to teach venipuncture and injection techniques including starting IVs. The skin rolls as you palpate the vein and the characteristic “pop” can be felt as the needle penetrates the vein.
Veins are accessible at the antecubital fossa, along the forearm, and at the back of the hand, making it possible to practice venipuncture at any of the common sites. Practice of intramuscular injection is equally realistic. A foam pad simulates muscle tissue, and the boundaries are identified by natural bonelike landmarks.
- Life/form® Realism
- Realistic Flashback
- Replaceable Skins
- Intramuscular Injection Site
- Complete with Fingerprints
Life/form® Venipuncture and Injection Arms are designed with replaceable skins and veins. Complete replacement skin kits are available and easy to use. To extend the life of each skin/vein set, an aerosol sealant is available to seal punctures in the tubing and prevent leakage.
Includes a Life/form® arm with skin, 22 gauge needle, butterfly set, infusion set, 3 cc syringe, 12 cc syringe, one pint Life/form® blood, fluid supply bags, instruction manual, and soft carry case. Fluid supply stand not included.
Size: 35 in. x 12 in. x 6 in.
Nasco Life/form® Advanced Venipuncture and Injection Arm
This revolutionary training arm provides complete venous access for IV therapy, phlebotomy, intramuscular and intradermal injections. An extensive 8-line vascular system allows students to practice venipuncture at all primary and secondary locations, including starting IVs and introducing Over the Needle IV Catheters.
Soft, flexible fingers are molded separately with extreme attention paid to every detail – right down to the fingerprints! Flexion of the wrist helps students develop manipulation skills. The replaceable skin rolls as the veins are palpated, and a discernible “pop” is felt when entering the veins.
Key Features
- Simplified setup with one external fluid bag supplying artificial blood to all veins simultaneously
- Dorsal surface of hand includes injectable metacarpal, digital, and thumb veins. Antecubital fossa includes the median cephalic, median basilic, and median cubital veins
- Venipuncture can also be performed along the basilic, cephalic, accessory cephalic, and median antebrachial veins
- Intramuscular injections may be performed in the deltoid muscle and intradermal injection sites are located in the upper arm.
- Intramuscular injections into the deltoid muscle are enhanced by the soft, lifelike skin and by the natural bony landmarks in the region.
- Intradermal injections using distilled water will create characteristic skin welts at designated sites on the upper arm

Nasco Life/form® Advanced Injection Belly
It is an invaluable tool for showing how to properly insert and rotate the infusion set for insulin pumps, avoiding the 2 in. (5 cm) area around the navel, as well as giving many types of self-injections (including pen-style injections).
Similar to the Life/form® Injection Belly, but made of a material that creates a more realistic experience. The trainer has lifelike skin with what feels like real stomach tissue, along with the ability to pinch the skin. Backing keeps needles from going through.
Adjustable straps allow the stomach to be attached to a manikin or human patient for simulation practice. The soft material can be punctured repeatedly without showing holes. Liquid injection is not recommended.
Dimension: 10 in. L x 6 in. W x 2 in. H.
