Comparing the Perceived Realism and Adequacy of Venipuncture Training on an in-House Developed 3D-Printed Arm With a Commercially Available Arm: Randomized, Single-Blind, Cross-Over Study
The 3D-printed arm is as realistic and provides an equally adequate training compared to the commercially available arm. The 3D-printed arm offers the additional possibility to design different models representing several levels of difficulty for vascular morphology. This potentially lowers the number of venipuncture failures by preparing health care workers on challenging scenarios.
