Umbilical Vein Catheterization [Unguided]

Umbilical Vein Catheterization is a VR simulation that teaches users the proper technique for inserting a catheter into the umbilical vein. Learners practice key steps, such as positioning, insertion, and ensuring patient safety, all in a realistic virtual environment, preparing them for real-world neonatal care procedures.

Track learner progress

Run this simulation with a class and watch it happen: who started, who finished, and how long each learner took. Drill into a run to see what they actually did.

Group sessions

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.
