One time use only!
Pretty much a one time use only with this item. The liquid leaks out under the arm covering from the punctured rubber tubing and begins to mildew. The wrist was also broken off. It is a cheap foam casting that is not fluid resistant. Needs firm support structure and an easy on and off covering to allow to dry, also needs self healing tubing..

Decent product for the value, but does leak.
I purchased this arm to practice IV catheter insertion for nursing school. The skin feels semi realistic and the cath needle goes in pretty well without too much effort. It’s definitely softer than the arms in the lab at school, but not nearly as heavy, which can make putting on a tourniquet kind of difficult, but that isn’t as important to me as having a real feel of the needle going in. It doesn’t feel like a real person, but it provides a pretty decent feel and general idea. For practice and helping to build confidence I think it does a good job for the value of it. The box came with everything it said was included, and did have an instruction pamphlet on how to set it up. The syringe wasn’t the greatest quality, but since I have my own supplies I didn’t care about that. I also use saline water (easy to make) with a few drops of red food coloring and it works well to help you see the “red flash” after you get the needle in the vein. My only real complaint is that it leaks a bit where the tubing connects near the end of the arm. It got under the skin, but the skin peels back so I was able to dry it before it got too bad. As long as there is a paper towel under that area, it doesn’t seem to be that bad of an issue and doesn’t seem to change the functionality of it. Overall good product for the value. Hopefully they will continue to work out the kinks.

Good for practicing the actual venipuncture, but not hanging IV's due to outdated tubing.
The needles that come with the kit are not what is used in practice in the US today. If you are needed to practice for IV nursing skills sign-offs, the equipment is not identical, and it's not set up right to practice for hanging a piggyback at all. Nothing is luer-lock. Most of the syringes and IV catheter needles are labeled in Chinese with a minimum of English. The IV tubing is not current either. The bottles for hanging your fake blood have very weak handles. You'll end up improvising with bandage tape to hang them or have fake blood all over your floor. I recommend using Easter egg dye for fake blood since it won't stain if the bottles do fail.

Sad nursing student
I had high hopes for this product as a nursing student I could not wait to use it. Recieved the arm quick in the mail however the arm skin was ripped and the tubing leaked. As this is the second on I recieved that has not worked as described. I really would like to be able to give a good review but I feel like i spent alot of money for somethig that did not live up to my expectations.

Please read: this product is BETTER than you can imagine-as well as the customer service!!!!
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!
