VATA Inc.’s Port “Body in a Box”, is a low-cost, compact, lightweight, quick-to-set up and store training model for the teaching and practice of palpating and accessing IVADs (Implanted Vascular Access Devices).
This anatomical healthcare model is supplied with a real port and it’s possible to simulate accessing the following IVAD placements: normal, “tipping”, “wandering”, and deeply placed.
Successful access is confirmed by a simulated blood return, as the model has its own 35cc simulated blood reservoir bag neatly tucked inside.
Can be accessed in or out of the case. No set-up or put-away steps are required for patient simulation.
The perfect model to develop hand-eye coordination and gain confidence that easily transfers to patient care.
Supplied with a real port, this simulation lab model allows individuals to:
The skin flap is made of VATA Inc.’s Dermalike II™ material which offers the following unique properties:
The underlying soft tissue block of this model permits the port to “float” when palpating through the skin flap, for a truly realistic experience.
Accessing can be taught and practised with the tissue pad in the case or removed from the case.
This VATA anatomical healthcare model is a great tool for the learning and practising of palpating and accessing IVAD, competency testing, and skills assessment.

Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
Excellent fast service. Thank you.
