Vascular Access Training Modules

All the software modules for the CathSim® AccuTouch® System include cognitive content that supports IV therapy training including aseptic technique, the use of safety needles, and medical waste disposal. Pre- and post-procedure videos demonstrate IV therapy best practices, and user-controlled transparent and side views show the underlying anatomy and angle of needle insertion.
