Review: Pretty Happy with this Arm So Far - 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. ## Features - REALISTIC PHLEBOTOMY PRACTICE KIT – The Apprentice Doctor kit provides a lifelike training experience with a detailed venipuncture simulation arm.

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! **Q: can you practice placing iv in arm and back of hand both?** A: Yes indeed - one can practice phlebotomy / IV procedures on both the ventral forearm as well as the dorsum (back) of the hand. **Q: Can you buy replacement skin and veins?** A: 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 **Q: I have been searching everywhere for a container exactly like this one but cannot find it, are you able to sell just the container?** A: We don't sell the items in our kits separately. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Training Tool for Aspiring Medical Professionals! *by N***K on July 28, 2025* I purchased the Apprentice Doctor Phlebotomy Practice Kit to help improve my venipuncture and IV insertion skills, and I couldn’t be more impressed.

I love the detail of the veins in the arms. The instructions are straightforward and precise. The arm is very durable. This product is definitely worth the money. As for leakage, I have not properly tested it fully. The weight of the arm should be enough to keep it from moving, but I will have straps just in case to keep it in place. ## Frequently Bought Together - Apprentice Doctor Phlebotomy Practice Kit - Practice IV, Venipuncture, Blood Draws, Injections, & Phlebotomy Skills.
