IV Venipuncture and Phlebotomy Practice Kits
Venipuncture IV and Phlebotomy Practice Kits
Intravenous(IV) therapy, Venipuncture, and Phlebotomy procedures are critical components of medical care. These procedures require proper training and play a vital role in various medical settings.
Why IV, venipuncture, and phlebotomy practice are so crucial?
IV therapy, venipuncture, and phlebotomy are crucial for patient care, diagnostic testing, emergency treatment, blood donation, etc. Practice and administer these skills, you will be more confident and save more lives.
➤ IV therapy: Involves administering fluids, medications, and blood products directly into a patient's vein using an intravenous catheter. This procedure is crucial for hydration, medication delivery, blood transfusions, and emergency treatment.
➤ Venipuncture: The process of puncturing a vein with a needle to collect blood samples for diagnostic testing or blood donation. Venipuncture is essential for obtaining blood samples used in laboratory tests to diagnose diseases, monitor health conditions, and assess treatment effectiveness.
➤ Phlebotomy: Refers to the collection of blood samples from patients for diagnostic purposes, blood donation, or therapeutic procedures. Phlebotomy involves venipuncture and may also include procedures such as fingerstick blood collection or arterial puncture.

Common Questions and Answers
I can't get flashbacks when using butterfly needles or IV cannulas, do you have advice for me?
Certainly! When using a butterfly needle or IV cannula, blood flashback should be seen when the vein/fake vein is successfully accessed.
- Successful flashback depends on the following factors:
- Venous pressure within the simulated vein.
- The gauge diameter of the needle being used.
- The viscosity of the simulated blood.
- Ensuring proper insertion technique to enter the vein with the needle.
Let's discuss each of these topics in turn:
1. Venous pressure within the artificial vein:
Increasing the pressure in the prosthetic vein can result in better flashback. This is done by raising the reservoir bag about 6 inches (15 cm) at a time.
2. Needle Diameter:
Smaller diameter needles, such as 22 G or higher, produce slow/weak flashback. Wider diameter needles, such as 21 G or smaller, produce better flashback. However, the disadvantage is that larger diameter needles are more damaging to the prosthetic vein, limiting the length of time the arm can be used.
Therefore, better flashback can be obtained with larger diameter needles.
3. Viscosity of fake blood:
The higher the viscosity, the lower the chance of getting a good flashback effect. This can be problematic if fake blood is used, as many fake blood formulas contain corn syrup, which can make the blood quite viscous. Real unclotted blood is fairly non-sticky. We recommend using tap water and a few drops of red food coloring as fake blood. Clean thoroughly after each use.
4. Opening the deflector rollers and clamps (if applicable):
If any of the inflow clamps are closed, the venous pressure will remain close to zero and no blood return will occur.
5. Successful needle entry into the vein:
Regardless of how high the venous pressure is and what caliber needle is used, if the needle is not successfully punctured into the vein, there will be no flashback! Suggestion - keep practicing with Ultrassist Venipuncture IV and Phlebotomy Training Kit. Additionally, if you do not successfully enter a dummy vein, then your vacuum sampler will lose its vacuum and deteriorate.
