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

Real feel skin, gives flash in the IV, easy enough to set up and looks great. Would reccomend for any paramedic or phlebotomy student, very durable and good quality skin

Helped my daughter become a phlebotomist

The material is very tough and doesn’t allow you to thread the catheter in. I wish I would have opened it sooner and practiced. I missed the return window. Would definitely have returned this item.

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.

Super helpful in nursing school! Our school does not have enough to go around so it was 5+ people to one arm. The ONLY down fall is it seeps when poked in some areas. However it’s a good arm and has flashback!

This was a good idea fur practice. But this is not geared for phlebotomy. It had no draw tubes or needles to draw blood

Worked like a champ to train new employees and is budget friendly.

Great idea. Used for a relative training as a phlebotomist.
