Laerdal Recommends
We recommend nothing larger than a 21-gauge needle. This will
extend life of skin and veins.
When using a catheter or other venipuncture devices, lubricate them
with lubricant spray for easier insertion.
Replacing Skin and Veins
Laerdal Recommends
When excessive leaking occurs at the puncture sites, a new vein system
should be installed to reduce loss of fl uid.
We recommend working at a basin when replacing skin and veins.
Replacing skin:
1. Cut off skin. This can be done with a sharp knife or scalpel. (Fi g1)
2. Discard skin.
Fig. 1
Replacing veins ( keeping skin):
1. Lubricate inside skin with liquid detergent; let it fl ow down into the
fi nger area.
2. Begin at top of arm and slowly pull skin down and off of arm. Do not
roll, as that will cause skin to bind. Thumb will detach with skin.
3. Remove tubing from track in mandrel. Glue may need to be scraped away
to allow removal.
4. Rinse and dry vein grooves well and swab with alcohol. Be sure to
remove any excess glue.

5. Place new veins along grooves (Fig. 2), spot gluing as needed. (We
recommend a fast-drying glue)
6. Generously lather arm mandrel with liquid soap.
