Testimonials

"Using human models allows trainees to learn about how to position the patient, and practice on different sides of the body, as well as different bodies, which all appear different under ultrasound." ... "NeedleTrainer will allow students to practice in a highly supervised environment, with no risk, before moving to a patient-facing environment and then independent practice".

"Utilising simulation, and especially hi-fidelity simulation like this, enables us to make a training opportunity of things that potentially weren’t an actual block. And the more that we can do of this, the more we are going to be able to produce people that are confident by the end of training."

“Using NeedleTrainer, it makes sense for students. They walk into class to this big scary concept of peripheral nerve blocks and they think, I’m never going to do this. It’s too intimidating. By the end of the class, they’re so excited because they can identify the anatomy on the screen and then go back and practice on their classmates. It is a major confidence booster and has completely changed the way we are able to lecture.”
