The History of the Life/form® Venatech IV Trainer:

Ellen Chiofalo, the inventor of the Life/form® Venatech IV Trainer, is a teacher at Keiser College in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where medical assisting and other allied health vocations are taught. Ellen created the Venatech IV Trainer to provide her students with a more efficient and effective way to learn IV therapy skills. She was so impressed with her students' results that she patented her idea and looked for ways to make her trainer available to every student learning venipuncture skills. In addition to the diversity of the training device, the development of patient-interaction skills is the most noticeable benefit of using the Venatech IV trainer.
