Does the arm feel like real skin? suppose i puncture the skin for the first time. if i were to do it again, would it leak? or am i able to suture it?

Having worked with a number of different simulation arms - this arm does actually feel a lot like real skin - but of course not perfectly so. If you use a reasonable needle size like 21-23 Gauge it will auto seal - so one can do multiple punctures. After several hundreds of punctures the arm may develop a couple of minor leaks. As these leaks come from the tubes under the skin - one cannot suture it closed - but one can actually use the arm for practicing suturing skills - it works well for this purpose! Trust the answer helps!

can you practice placing iv in arm and back of hand both?

Yes indeed - one can practice phlebotomy / IV procedures on both the ventral forearm as well as the dorsum (back) of the hand.

Can you buy replacement skin and veins?

Hi Kelly, at this pricing replacement skin and veins is not available. I know that some of the much more expensive sim arms do have that option. Thanks for the question. Stefan

I have been searching everywhere for a container exactly like this one but cannot find it, are you able to sell just the container?
