Injection Belly

This soft stomach replica will be an invaluable tool for teaching patients how to properly insert and rotate the infusion set for insulin pumps, avoiding the 2″ (5 cm) area around the navel, as well as giving self-injections of many types including pen-style injections. The trainer has lifelike skin with what feels like real stomach tissue underneath. There is a soft plastic backing to keep needles from going through and holes to allow the material to breathe and dry, should you choose to inject liquids. Distilled water may be injected, but the more liquid that is injected into the simulator, the longer the time for evaporation. Actual insulin or other medications should not be used, as they may deteriorate the material. The injection belly is considered disposable; however, with proper care and treatment it will serve its purpose for a long period of time. Using the smallest needles possible when simulating injections and rotating the insertion points will help prolong the life of the trainer.

Dimensions: 10″ L x 6″ W x 1-1/4″ H.

Why Choose the Nasco Healthcare Injection Belly for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Injection Belly (Item No. WA28395U) by Nasco Healthcare, USA is a soft, lifelike abdominal injection training simulator weighing 0.91 kg and measuring 25.4 × 15.2 × 3.2 cm (10″ × 6″ × 1¼″). Moulded to replicate the soft tissue feel and skin texture of a real human abdomen, the Injection Belly is designed primarily for teaching patients and caregivers how to correctly insert and rotate the infusion set for insulin pumps — including learning to avoid the 2″ (5 cm) zone around the navel — and for practising self-injections of multiple types, including pen-style insulin injections. For diabetic patient education programmes, nursing colleges, hospital diabetes education units, and NMC-mandated clinical skills labs across India that need a dedicated abdominal injection trainer for subcutaneous injection technique and insulin pump infusion site management, the Injection Belly is the Nasco Healthcare standard for this training need.

The simulator presents lifelike skin with realistic soft stomach tissue beneath, giving trainees tactile feedback that closely approximates the feel of injecting into a real abdomen. A soft plastic backing prevents needles from passing completely through the simulator, protecting both the trainer and the surface beneath. Ventilation holes in the backing allow the simulator to breathe and dry naturally if liquid has been injected. Distilled water may be injected for practice; actual insulin or other medications must not be used, as they will deteriorate the simulator material over time. The Injection Belly is considered a disposable trainer; however, with correct care — using the smallest gauge needles possible and consistently rotating insertion points across the surface — it will serve its purpose across a significant volume of training sessions before replacement is needed.

For institutions training subcutaneous injection technique on the upper arm or thigh in addition to the abdomen, the Nasco Healthcare Intradermal Injection Simulator (WA28394U) covers intradermal technique on a forearm model. For insulin pump training that also includes patient education materials on rotation technique and infusion site management, contact SEM Trainers to discuss the full Nasco Healthcare diabetic teaching range.

Q: What procedures can be practised on the Injection Belly? A: The simulator supports insulin pump infusion set insertion and rotation training — including learning to avoid the 2″ (5 cm) area around the navel — as well as self-injection practice for subcutaneous injections of all types, including pen-style injections.

Q: Can liquid be injected into the simulator? A: Yes. Distilled water may be injected. Actual insulin or other medications must not be used, as they will deteriorate the simulator material.

Q: How long will the simulator last? A: The Injection Belly is designed as a disposable trainer; however, using the smallest gauge needles possible and consistently rotating injection points will significantly extend its usable life.

Q: Does the needle go all the way through? A: No. A soft plastic backing prevents needles from passing through the simulator. Ventilation holes in the backing allow the simulator to dry naturally after liquid injection.
