If you're a clinical instructor or healthcare student, you already know that watching a video on venipuncture or IV insertion is nowhere near enough to build confidence. Real skill comes from hands-on experience , and that's exactly where Ultrassist IV and phlebotomy training kits come in. These models offer a safe, repeatable, and realistic way for students to develop critical medical skills long before encountering a real patient. Why Simulation Practice Matters IV insertion, venipuncture, and blood collection are some of the most anxiety-inducing procedures for new learners. Without a way to safely make mistakes and practice repeatedly, students often feel unprepared during clinical rotations. Ultrassist solves this problem with highly realistic simulation tools. Our IV practice kits replicate the texture and resistance of real human skin and veins. When the needle is inserted correctly, users get instant feedback via a simulated blood flashback - a detail that many ...
When faced with a bullet wound, knowing how to control bleeding can be life-saving. Whether it's from a gunshot or a surgical procedure, prompt action is crucial. In this guide, we'll explore actionable steps on how to stop bleeding from a surgical gunshot wound. These techniques are not only essential for emergency situations but also valuable for everyday preparedness. Apply Direct Pressure: Direct pressure is the first line of defense against bleeding. Use a clean cloth, gauze pad, or bandage to apply firm pressure directly on the wound. Avoid removing the dressing once applied, as it may disrupt clot formation and worsen bleeding. Maintain pressure until help arrives or the bleeding stops. Elevate the Wound: Elevating the wounded area above the heart can help reduce blood flow to the injury site, aiding in clot formation and slowing bleeding. If possible, raise the affected limb or area to a level higher than the heart. However, avoid elevating if it causes disco...
