Abstract
A vein simulator system can be used by clinicians to improve their proficiency in placing catheters such as PIVCs or in otherwise accessing a vasculature. A vein simulator system can include a simulated portion of a body, such as a simulated human arm, that includes at least one simulated vein. The vein simulator system can also include a control system, one or more sensors and one or more feedback components. The control system can leverage the one or more sensors to generate feedback during a clinician's attempt to place a catheter and can output the feedback via the feedback components, either during or after the attempt.
