A comparison of homemade vascular access ultrasound phantom models for peripheral intravenous catheter insertion.

CONCLUSION: In our study the Rippey model performed best and offered a mid-level cost and creation time. Non-commercial U/S phantoms may represent cost-effective and useful PIV practice tools. Future studies should investigate the utility of these phantoms in teaching U/S guided PIV to novices and compare non-commercial to commercial phantoms.
