latex vein.
3. Allow fluid to flow through
arm and out other vein.
4. Clamp off flow of water.

The arm is now ready to
practice venipuncture.


Laerdal Recommends:

When excessive leaking occurs at puncture sites, either a new vein

system or skin should be installed to reduce loss of fluid.

We recommend working at a sink when replacing the skin and vein

system.


Replacing Skin and Veins:


1. Remove skin:
If replacing skin and veins, cut off skin. This can be done
with a sharp knife, scalpel or scissors. (Figure 1) When
finished, discard skin. (Figure 2)
