Cortical Bone Resistance
The high-density polyurethane shell replicates the drilling resistance and audible "pop" of real cortical bone, validated against clinical IO insertion data at 3–5mm wall thickness.
Intraosseous Access Training
Anato-Tech's high-fidelity IO humeral training model delivers the tactile feedback, anatomical landmarks, and insertion resistance of real clinical practice — so your team is ready when it matters most.
Compatible with industry-standard IO devices · Trusted by emergency medicine teams nationwide
High-Fidelity Design
Every layer of the Anato-Tech IO Training Model is engineered to replicate the anatomy, resistance, and tactile feedback of a live humeral IO insertion — so skill acquired in training transfers directly to patient care.
The high-density polyurethane shell replicates the drilling resistance and audible "pop" of real cortical bone, validated against clinical IO insertion data at 3–5mm wall thickness.
Outer skin, subcutaneous tissue, cortical bone shell, and medullary cavity — each layer engineered to deliver the depth cues and palpable landmarks of a real proximal humerus.
Skin and cortical layers are field-replaceable in under 30 seconds — no tools required. Each insert set supports 50+ full IO insertions before replacement is needed.
Designed to work with EZ-IO (Teleflex) 15G and 45mm needles, the SAM IO manual gun, and the BIG spring-loaded system — the same devices used in your ER or field kit.
The humeral tuberosity and "ball" surface are clearly palpable through the skin layer. The arm is anatomically positioned — adducted and internally rotated — as in live clinical practice.
The full assembly weighs under 6 lbs and remains stable on any flat surface during insertion — no mounting hardware needed. Built for sim labs, classrooms, and field training alike.
Why IO Access
Intraosseous access delivers drugs and fluids directly to the bone marrow — fast, reliable, and critically important when peripheral IV access is impossible in a time-critical emergency.
Locate the proximal humerus approximately 1–2 cm above the surgical neck. Palpate the humeral head and confirm correct arm position — adducted and internally rotated at the patient's side.
Apply firm, controlled pressure with your IO driver through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and cortical bone. A distinct change in resistance — the "pop" — confirms entry into the medullary cavity.
Remove the stylet, confirm patency with a flush, and verify needle stability. The needle should stand upright without support. Aspiration of marrow confirms correct positioning.
Attach IV tubing and begin infusion of fluids, medications, or blood products. Monitor the site for extravasation. IO access provides reliable vascular access within 60 seconds of decision.

Field Reviews
From emergency medicine residencies to combat medic programs, here's what practitioners say about training with the Anato-Tech IO model.
"The pop feedback on the cortical layer is as close to the real thing as I've felt in any trainer. My residents went from hesitant to confident in a single afternoon session."
"We've cycled through multiple IO trainers. Nothing else gives us the realistic tissue depth for a higher BMI patient. The replaceable inserts are a game-changer for high-volume training days."
"Our ED nurses were hesitant about humeral IO. After two simulation sessions with this model, they're comfortable placing and confirming independently. Tactile fidelity is excellent."
"We run IO training for 200+ combat medics a year. Portability matters — under 6 lbs means we can take it to any training site. Compatibility with the EZ-IO driver is exactly what we needed."
"Finally a training device that forces correct arm positioning. The internal rotation requirement is exactly right, and my students can palpate the landmarks clearly through the skin layer."
"The marrow aspiration simulation is a feature we didn't know we needed until we had it. Confirms to trainees that placement is correct. Worth every penny for the confidence it builds."
About Anato-Tech
Anato-Tech was founded with a single conviction: simulation equipment should feel real enough that the first time a clinician performs a procedure on a real patient, it feels familiar.
