Project Overview

Project Name: IV Cannulation 3D Animation
Objective: To create a scientifically accurate and visually engaging 3D animation that explains how an IV cannulation works in medical procedures, demonstrating the process of intravenous cannulation, nasal cannulation, and the practical use of cannula for IV therapy.
Service Type: 3D Medical Animation
Industry: Healthcare, Medical Education, Pharmaceutical, Medical Device
Timeline: 8 Weeks
Targeted Audience: Medical students, nursing trainees, healthcare professionals, educators, and patients seeking clarity on IV cannula procedures.

Project Description

EFFE Animation developed a detailed 3D medical animation to explain the working mechanism of an IV cannulation and the process of intravenous cannulation. The project aimed to simplify how a cannula for IV is inserted into a vein, enabling direct delivery of fluids, medicines, or nutrients.

The animation showcased step-by-step visuals of vein identification, needle insertion, catheter placement, and secure fixation of the cannula. Additionally, it included modules on nasal cannulation for oxygen administration, comparing techniques and usage in different clinical scenarios.

By combining medical accuracy with interactive 3D visualization, this project makes complex cannulation techniques easier to understand for both professionals and patients.

Project Plan

  • Research: Collected clinical data on IV cannula design, insertion techniques, and complications.
  • Storyboard Design: Outlined patient preparation, vein selection, cannula insertion, and securing process.
  • 3D Modeling: Created accurate models of IV cannula, vein structures, nasal cannula, and medical devices.
  • Animation: Illustrated the procedure of intravenous cannulation and nasal cannulation step by step.
  • Integration: Added narration with simplified medical terms for better comprehension.
  • Expert Review: Verified by nurses, anesthetists, and medical educators for accuracy.
