What clinical skill does this trainer develop?
It teaches the correct technique for infant heel blood sampling, including proper hand placement, pressure application, and drop collection — skills critical for neonatal screening programs.
How realistic is the heel tissue?
The model replicates the softness and structure of a real baby’s heel, giving learners accurate tactile feedback during practice before working with real neonatal patients.
How does the blood simulation work?
An internal reservoir releases small drops of simulated blood when light pressure is applied, closely replicating the physiological response of a real heel stick procedure.
Why is this skill important to train in simulation?
Infant heel blood sampling requires precise technique to avoid repeated sticks and patient distress. Practising on a model first builds confidence and reduces the risk of errors on real patients.
Who is this trainer suited to?
It works for midwifery, neonatal nursing, and paediatric nursing education programs where heel prick blood sampling is a core clinical competency.
