Apprentice Doctor Phlebotomy Practice Kit - Practice IV, Venipuncture, Blood ...

Producto recibido en perfecto estado, muy recomendable.

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.

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.

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.

Cannot express enough how wonderful this item is or about the customer service.I am a premed student in a phlebotomy course, and I had just purchased this for extra practice. It came with a slight internal flaw, and I ended up contacting customer service. I was informed that the entire team of doctors were currently abroad in Africa, and that they were not able to be reached at the time of my call. Within 10 minutes, 10 MINUTES, one of the wonderful doctors called me from AFRICA, and immediately over-nighted a replacement.I am currently buying more items from apprentice doctor…not only does this item feel real to the touch, but the items included, especially the book on flash-drive is probably worth around $300. And lets not forget about the outstanding customer service.I can't even get my own physicians to call me back and they are 20 minutes form my home, yet another reason I have quit a 23 year-long law enforcement career to go premed. We can use more doctors like the ones affiliated with these great student items. I also purchased the venipuncture kit, and I CANNOT stop practicing.I should also mention I am the only student in class with straight A's for the hands-on aspect of my course. No one else has drawn blood yet….I have gotten blood every time.Please buy this kit and others, I promise you will not be sorry!

I'm a healthcare student taking Phlebotomy courses and this "Phlebotomy Practice Arm" is fantastic. I was able to master different techniques to feel more confident when drawing blood from real patients. I rarely write reviews, but I am gladly surprised by the awesome customer service for this company (The Apprentice Doctor). I ran out of needles, and it's difficult to buy a few needles in pharmacies, as they're not offered for sale. I contacted the customer service of "The Apprentice Doctor" directly on their website. Judy was very attentive and welcoming. Although, I had purchased this arm from Amazon, and long ago; they still cared about me as a customer and did everything they could to locate and ship new needles. I'm very pleased with their high-quality customer service and would recommend this company to everyone.

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