SimCoach Phlebotomy Practice Kit for Injection Training, IV Practice Kit with Phlebotomy Arm, Venipuncture and Blood Draw Practice Kit for Medical Students, Education Training Only

It's good for a nursing student. I used it a lot just to get used to the action of needle insertion and finding the right angle of insertion. The only thing is that you have to find your own IV needles; it comes only with one. Easy to set and looks and feels realistic.

Worked well, easy to set up. Haven’t used it a lot yet, but for the price it was well worth it.

No me gustó el artículo. Parece usado y, cuando abrí la caja, el brazo estaba lleno de polvo y rayado. Además, los tubos donde se echa la sangre vinieron con uno sin la bolsita y la manga de color amarillo.

The ease of use was great. Awesome quality if you just learning how you draw blood or start IVs. I don't recommend trying to use butterfly needles unfortunately but otherwise it is a great product. Definitely will help out any beginners and someone who needs to freshen up on drawing blood.

Got this as a practice aid for my daughter. Great aid

My grandson is training to be an EMT, and this has been great for practice!

It’s great overall.. but it’s missing the median cubical. so being in phlebotomy school where this is the main vein we use is kind of hard because i’m trying to practice at home.

I am a part-time instructor in a nursing class and have used two other brands of IV Arm Simulators: one that cost more and one that was cheaper. Although the more expensive one had more tools and accessories, the “artificial skin” textures of both were very similar: semi-tough, stiff, and only slightly better than a mannequin’s. Also, the respective blood vessels inside those arms never met expectations for simulating real human veins. Because my older practice arms were getting quite worn due to frequent practice punctures, I decided to try this one based on the claims that its skin was soft and realistic. To my pleasant surprise, there really was a night and day difference. The silicone texture in this arm (see photos) was much better than the rubber-like PVC material of my other ones. This arm was very easy to set up using the instructions provided and the skin texture really was close to working on real people. In my class demonstrations, I was able to successfully draw blood every time. And perhaps that is the only complaint that I have. There should be an option (different vein) that is more challenging to find. That would help med and nursing school students enhance their IV skills and ability to locate more-difficult-to-find veins. This arm is almost as good as (maybe even better than) the expensive ones that the school has but at a price my students can afford. I can’t recommend this product highly enough for anyone who needs to practice IV procedures outside a classroom setting.
