Apprentice Doctor Phlebotomy Practice Kit - Practice IV, Venipuncture, Blood Draws, Injections, & Phlebotomy Skills. (Arm with Practice Kit)

Creepy weird how realistic the arm looks and feels. Great quality material for the person to practice phlebotomy. Whether studying nursing, EMT or other medical professions that require understanding and performing giving an I.V. My only complaint is that there’s nothing to practice for someone whose veins roll or when they’re a heavier weight person.

I'm pretty happy with it thus far. I bought it as a nursing student to practice my IV sticks. I've been using it a few days now, it feels well made, easy to set up, decent price, and it's great practice. Sure it may not be completely life like, veins don't really roll, it's easy to see them, etc., but it's great to practice TECHNIQUE and become more confident with the process. If you're able to start a line on this no problem and have your technique down great, then when it comes to the real thing, all you have to focus on is the patient. I've had no leaks or anything yet, but we'll see as time goes on. I've used the included butterfly needle, syringe with attached needle (they're about 24-26 gauge), and started IV's with 24 gauge over the needle IV catheters. You're able to advance the catheter into the vein, flush the line, etc., no problems. Mine even came with the supplies to spike and hang an IV bag. I did put a Tegaderm on one time over the IV site and it stuck REALLY well to the skin, so much I don't want to use the Tegaderm on it anymore because I don't want to damage the skin on the arm. Overall I'd recommend for those just learning venipuncture and IV's.

It’s very life like, and that makes palpating easier.

Good quality, arrived fast and great for practicing your pokes, only complaint is it doesn't come with many needles/ syringes/ supplies. I had to order another practice set that included a variety of needles to make sure I had everything that I needed.

Producto recibido en perfecto estado, muy recomendable.

This training model is an absolute steal for the price. My wife is an RN and works in a Plasma donation center, so this is right on point with what she does. The veins are inset enough to give you the training you need, but appear very well through the life-like skin material. She was so blown away by how nice of a product it is, and stated that it included waaay more veins in the model, than even the one she used during nursing school. You can practice IV sticks, blood drawing, phlebotomy, back of the hand, all down the forearm. I have yet to try and change out the material for the veins, since we havent stuck it enough to need to, but it looks like a simple act of replacing easy to acquire surgical tubing. If you have a medical proffesional you care about who does ANY kind of sticking, this an absolute must have. No question

I really like this practice arm. The only thing is the equipment feels a bit cheap. It only comes with 2 needles to start ivs with which I don't think is fair for the price. The arm quality is nice though.

Doesn’t work , messy and not easy to get blood out of “vein”. Don’t waste your money .
