Inflammatory skin diseases impose a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems worldwide. Among these, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is particularly notable for its chronic and recurrent nature. Recurrent nodules, abscesses, and scarring in apocrine gland-rich areas characterize the disease, including the groin, axillae, and perianal regions.

- Current ultrasound-guided IV access training models are expensive and lack realistic complexity, prompting the development of a cost-effective gelatin model that mimics real vein and artery interactions.
- A study at the University of Nevada tested this advanced model against traditional options, finding that participants with limited ultrasound experience reported significantly higher confidence levels after using the new model.
- Statistical analysis demonstrated that the advanced model resulted in greater perceived skill improvement, with participants showing an increase of over 4 points in comfort levels on a five-point scale.
