Description
Key Features
Simulated Medication: This product is a vial filled with sterile water that mimics a vial of Heparin, an anticoagulant commonly used to prevent and treat blood clots. It is designed to look and be handled like the real medication.
Realistic Appearance and Dosage: The vial realistically simulates the appearance and labeling of a real Heparin vial, with a high concentration of 5,000 units per mL. This realism is crucial for training students in medication verification and accurate dosage calculations.
Non-Human Use: The vial contains sterile water and is clearly marked for instructional use only. It is not for human or animal use, which is a critical safety feature for a training environment.
Compatibility: The vial is designed to be accessed with a needle and syringe, allowing students to practice the physical skills of drawing up the correct dosage and preparing it for administration.
Uses
High-Alert Medication Training: The primary use is to teach students in nursing, medical, and pharmacy programs how to safely prepare and administer a high-alert medication like Heparin.
Dosage Calculation Practice: It is an essential tool for practicing precise dosage calculations, as the high concentration of the simulated drug requires careful measurement.
Clinical Scenarios: It is widely used in simulation labs to create realistic scenarios involving the prevention of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or other conditions where Heparin would be administered.
Safety Protocols: This product emphasizes the importance of following the "five rights" of medication administration and other safety protocols required for high-risk drugs.
