Project Overview

The current models that veterinary students use to practice IV and catheter placement require artificial blood to provide feedback as to whether the student is in the lumen of the vein. The use of artificial blood is a messy process resulting in extra cleanup for the students and professors and does not tell the student when they move excessively upon insertion. Additionally, these devices are expensive, despite not providing feedback on the movement of students when inserting needles.
