Abstract:

An intravenous injection practice assembly for practicing intravenous injections includes a prosthesis that is structured to resemble a human arm. The prosthesis is comprised of a compressible material such that the prosthesis is analogous to the human arm. Thus, the prosthesis can be pierced by an intravenous needle during practicing intravenous injection. A control circuit is positioned within the prosthesis and a sensing array is positioned within the prosthesis. The sensing array is electrically coupled to the control circuit and the control circuit receives a first input when the sensing array senses that the intravenous needle has touched the sensing array. An alert is coupled to the prosthesis and the alert is electrically coupled to the control circuit. The alert is turned on when the control circuit receives the first input to communicate to user that the user has inserted the intravenous needle a proper depth into the prosthesis.
