Neonatal point of care ultrasound umbilical catheter placement simulation trainer model

This project has been secured to protect intellectual property.

Reusable trainer model for practicing correct placement of an umbilical catheter.

Project Overview

There is currently no trainer model for students to learn how to place an umbilical catheter using ultrasound. This project aims to do that. This will improve outcomes for neonates with an umbilical catheter placed since ultrasound is currently considered the best way to place an umbilical catheter in the correct spot.
