Testimonials

As a Physician Assistant who had used another system my entire career, I was hesitant to look at another company’s product. However, I tried to keep an open mind. I was amazed by the quality of Terumo’s training facility and staff. Everything was set up and ready for our team to start working immediately. The Terumo team was very educated on their product and extremely helpful. I never felt like I was being pressured to change to their product. Their goal has always been making sure our harvesters were given the proper training in order to get the best quality for the patient.

Nicole Johnston, PA, St. Louis, MO

The EVH simulation and SynDaver made things so realistic that I was able to participate with dissecting and harvesting vein the very next day.

Ginger Cook, RNFA, Oxford, MS

Great instructor. He did a great job explaining the features of each tool and their purpose. Excellent videos to illustrate common complications/mistakes made. Was given adequate iterations on simulators.

Phillip Berntson, PA-C, El Paso, TX

This will greatly improve my skills on EVH. Being able to practice spatial awareness without pressure has made me more confident in my skills. I feel well prepared for OR experiences.
