Avstick by Avkin is a high-fidelity, wearable IV insertion simulator that brings unmatched realism to intravenous therapy training. Designed as a left-arm sleeve, Avstick is worn by a live actor or standardized patient, allowing learners to practice IV insertion in a dynamic and responsive setting.
What sets Avstick apart is its use of haptic feedback technology. When the learner successfully punctures the smart skin, a vibration is sent to the actor wearing the device, simulating the sensation of needle entry. This not only enhances the realism of the scenario but also enables the patient actor to react appropriately in real time—promoting two-way communication and realistic clinical interaction.
Constructed from premium medical-grade silicone, Avstick is reinforced with multiple layers of woven plastic to ensure durability and protect the wearer from accidental needle sticks. It provides a safe, repeatable training experience with minimal setup, making it ideal for nursing schools, simulation labs, and hospital-based education programs.
By combining wearable realism, tactile feedback, and patient communication, Avstick goes beyond traditional task trainers. It prepares healthcare professionals to develop not only technical IV insertion skills but also bedside manner and situational awareness—crucial competencies in real-world patient care.
Avstick is an essential tool for building learner confidence in performing IV insertions under pressure. The IV simulator’s realistic response system encourages critical thinking and hands-on mastery in a controlled environment. With Avstick’s ease of use and reusability, the simulator is a smart investment for any simulation-based education program seeking to improve clinical outcomes. Bring Simulation to Life with Avstick.
