Anyone experienced this product as the trainer or trainee?

Just looking for some feedback. If you've used it, did you like it?

Looks....expensive.

Edit:

GOOD GOD! $16,000 for that gadget. Hell, a Bard PreVue ultrasound is $4,000 and would go a looong way to improving vascular access for a facility.

You could even buy herd of live pigs for that price, bread them, and have an infinite source of live training material for IVs.

If breaded, probably better for pan frying. Beer to accompany rather than IVs, but maybe you'd prefer D5RL.
