Model | BIX-L67B — Newborn Peripheral & Central Vein Cannula Manikin |
Summary | Newborn vein cannula manikin: transparent chest with visible basilic, cephalic, jugular, subclavian and SVC channels for neonatal PICC training. (144 chars) |
Construction | Built to neonatal anatomy; imported plastic material with soft, elastic, lifelike skin, easy to clean |
Transparent Chest Wall | Special material gives a see-through view of the bilateral venous channels |
Anatomical Landmarks | Basilic, cephalic, jugular, subclavian veins and superior vena cava in correct positions |
Insertion-Length Measurement | Ribs and heart are directly observable, so insertion length can be measured before advancing |
Tip Confirmation | The SVC section is transparent: correctly placed catheters are visible; misplaced ones are not |
Positioning Practice | Standard venipuncture positioning can be exercised |
Price | On request (quotation via email) |
Audience | NICU / neonatal nursing training, nursing schools, pediatric skills labs, PICC insertion teams |
Educational-use note: training manikin — educational equipment, not a medical device or a pharmaceutical product (manufacturer's page notice). Confirm consumable catheters and options with the specification sheet — request it by email.
Peripherally inserted central catheters are essential in neonatal care, especially for critically ill and preterm infants — and among the most unforgiving NICU procedures: vessels are millimetres wide, insertion length must be measured against a moving target, and the margin between a correct and a misplaced tip is small. That margin matters — incorrect tip positioning and secondary migration cause serious complications, which is why recent multi-centre work focuses on confirming and monitoring tip location (Grasso et al., 2025) and why the tip-position/complication link is repeatedly documented (Jain et al., 2013; Patil et al., 2020).
Training faces a structural problem: high cost and limited practice opportunities. A randomized controlled trial of a neonatal PICC virtual simulator found it improved theory and interest — but not practical skills — concluding it complements rather than replaces clinical training (Fu et al., 2024).
That is the gap the L67B fills: a physical neonatal torso where anatomy is not a screen image — transparent chest wall, watchable catheter path, insertion length measured against visible landmarks, and placement confirmed by seeing the catheter in the SVC.
Evidence | Finding | Relevance to L67B |
Fu et al., 2024 (RCT) | Virtual simulation improved theory but not practical skills; complements clinical training | Physical trainers remain essential |
Grasso et al., 2025 | Incorrect n-PICC tip positioning and migration cause serious complications | Tip confirmation must be practised |
Jain et al., 2013 | Documented the PICC tip-position / complication link | Positioning error has consequences |
Patil et al., 2020 | Tip position linked to complications (phlebitis 11%) | Complication awareness belongs in training |
Newberry et al., 2014 | Arm position affects PICC tip movement | Positioning and measurement matter |
Razavinejad et al., 2023 | Recommends educating the insertion team to reduce tip malposition | Structured training reduces error |
Official feature | How it is used in teaching |
Transparent chest, bilateral venous channels | Students watch the catheter travel instead of working blind |
Basilic, cephalic, jugular, subclavian and SVC anatomy | Route selection and path planning |
Observable ribs and heart | Measure correct insertion length before advancing |
Transparent SVC segment (visible only if correct) | Binary tip confirmation: visible = placed, invisible = misplaced |
Standard positioning exercisable | Practise limb position and its effect |
Assess and plan
1. — select the access vein; check limb position.
Measure
2. — establish insertion length from visible ribs and heart.
Access
3. — puncture the peripheral vein with standard technique.
Advance
4. — observe the catheter course through the transparent channels.
Confirm and secure
5. — verify the tip in the SVC; if not visible, reposition and re-check.
Teaching value: the catheter is either visible in the SVC or not, so "it felt right" is replaced by a binary check — useful for self-directed practice and assessment.
The L67A covers adult peripheral and central puncture (internal jugular, subclavian, cephalic, Swan-Ganz). The L67B addresses the neonatal patient — smaller channels, transparent-chest teaching, PICC-specific length measurement.
Model | Focus | Best for |
L67B | Neonatal peripheral + central cannulation (PICC) | NICU / neonatal skills training |
L67A | Adult peripheral puncture + central vein cannula | Adult PIVC/CVC training |
L68A / L68B | Central vein puncture and injection | Central line practice |
LQ7 | Pneumothorax decompression | Emergency thoracic procedures |
LF2 | Leg wound closure and suturing | Basic surgical skills |
HS10 | Elbow venipuncture | Standard adult venipuncture |
Buying logic: choose the L67B for neonatal vascular access — especially PICC length measurement and tip confirmation. Pair it with an adult trainer (L67A/HS10) to cover both populations.
Station | Time | Activity |
A. Anatomy & routes | 10 min | Identify the five vessels; discuss route selection |
B. Length measurement | 15 min | Measure insertion length against visible landmarks |
C. Access & advance | 25 min | Puncture, advance, observe the path |
D. Tip confirmation | 10 min/student | Verify the tip in the SVC; correct a misplaced attempt |
● Correct vein selected; position standardised
● Insertion length measured and recorded before advancement
● Catheter advanced without force; course observed
● Tip confirmed visible in the SVC (or error corrected)
● Catheter secured; documented per policy
Item | Frequency | Notes |
Skin and transparent chest | Each session | Mild disinfectant; avoid abrasives |
Venous channels | Each session | Flush/clean per instructions; check puncture points |
Catheter consumables | Per class | Replace per protocol; keep assorted sizes |
Storage | Daily | Keep flat and covered; protect the panel |
Q1: What is the L67B used for? A: Neonatal vascular access training — peripheral puncture plus central vein catheterization, including insertion-length measurement and visual tip confirmation in the SVC.
Q2: How is the L67B different from the L67A? A: The L67A trains adult peripheral and central puncture (including Swan-Ganz). The L67B is built to neonatal anatomy with a transparent chest and PICC-focused length measurement and tip checking.
Q3: Why is the chest transparent? A: Students observe the catheter path, measure insertion length against visible landmarks, and confirm placement: the catheter is visible in the SVC only when positioned correctly.
Q4: Can students practise without an instructor? A: Yes — the binary tip check lets students self-correct, while the section 5 checklist supports formal assessment.
Q5: What is the MOQ and price? A: MOQ is 1 unit; price on request, varying with configuration and volume. Email adacpr@adaanatomy.com. for the quotation and specification sheet.
Q6: What are the delivery and service terms? A: Air freight 7–10 business days; sea freight 30–45 days. Manual included; catheter consumables available.
