Intramuscular Injection Simulator

The Intramuscular Injection Simulator is designed to provide students with the visual and tactile experience needed to learn intramuscular injection techniques. This simulator has landmarks that can be palpated so that the various injection techniques can be practiced. Unique design and construction give students the opportunity to visualise underlying structures and quickly learn proper injection procedures.

The Intramuscular Injection Simulator is extremely realistic. The skin and muscle textures, as well as bone shape and position, closely resemble a live patient. As a result, perforation of the tissue with a needle duplicates the sensation of administering an actual injection.

Features of Intramuscular Injection Simulator:

• Simulated bony structure embedded in the torso represents the superior end of the femur, or greater trochanter, the posterior superior and anterior superior iliac spines, and the sacrum

• Bony structure provides palpable anatomical landmarks helping students identify proper injection sites

• A section of the upper, outer quadrant of the left gluteal area is cut away to allow students to visualize the underlying structures

• Gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles, sciatic nerve, and vascular structures which are clearly shown

• Three types of intramuscular injections can be taught and practiced on this simulator: dorsogluteal, ventrogluteal, and vastus lateralis injections
