This Lifeform® Intramuscular Injection Simulator is the perfect volunteer for training students to administer intramuscular injections, offering both visual and tactile learning.

A simulated bony structure is embedded in the torso and represents the superior end of the femur, or greater trochanter, the posterior superior and anterior superior iliac spines and the sacrum. The bony structure provides palpable anatomical landmarks so students can identify proper injection sites.

A section of the upper, outer quadrant of the left gluteal area is cut away to allow students to visualise the underlying structures. The gluteus medium and gluteus maximum muscles, sciatic nerve and vascular structures are clearly shown.

Three types of intramuscular injections can be taught and practiced on this simulator:

• Dorsogluteal
• Ventrogluteal
• Vastus lateralis injections

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

The Intramuscular Injection Simulator comes complete with teaching guide, supply of syringes and a hard carry case. A replacement muscle is available when needed.
