Without a doubt, this is the most realistic IO trainer on the market and will be worth every penny of your investment. Imagine training your team on something that doesn't have an "X marks the spot" where dozens of students have previously drilled. Or rather than trying to describe the "pop" you feel when the needle enters the medulla, you just have them practice it. Ever see a trainer that incorporates pediatric femur IO placement as well as the tibia? Me either, until our Flight team trained on this device. I am confident that our team has a better working understanding of how to find landmarks on a pediatric patient, where to place the needle, and how to determine correct placement than they had previously. Throw out your other devices. This is all you need.
