The purpose of this research was to determine the values and profiles of forces during the penetration of phantoms for intravenous puncture training with a needle. The results showed that the developed training phantom design more accurately represents the real surgical situation than existing solutions on the market. The two-element design of the phantom allowed for the replication of real tissue behaviour during puncture, as the walls of artificial blood vessels offered greater resistance during needle penetration. The developed phantom is economical, reusable, and allows for precise replication of a specific surgical situation, making medical personnel training more efficient and resulting in increased patient safety.
