Worth the money. For the price, this is a very solid suture kit. The tools and sutures appear to be good quality. The practice pad isn’t great but it’s pretty much what I expected. Also, some people have said they wished it came with more instruction but the seller messages you with the links to several manuals and tutorials. Overall, would definitely recommend for medical students looking for a basic suture kit.
Keith –
Great Price! For what you get and the cost, you can’t beat it. Just wished it would of came with a small reference book also. Overall very happy with product.
Colleen Stearns –
Durable Product! My daughter used this kit for a school project and found it to be exactly as described on the website. The accompanying guide is thorough and provided step-by-step directions for creating the sutures using the kit materials.

Great quality!! I love how it gives real medical instruments to practice, and doesn’t feel cheap at all.

Great quality and easy to use! I used this product for teaching myself and my school’s Pre-Vet Club about how to suture. It was easy to use and very helpful, I will definitely recommend this product.
Jeannine Lowrance –
Super fun and high quality. Super fun and easy to follow instructions. High quality instruments and simulated skin. I got it for my daughter in nursing school. Great confidence builder. Now she is hooked.

Solid Suture Practice Kit for Medical Students and Residents. I am a resident physician and I picked up this kit to improve my suturing and tying skills. I am impressed by the quality given the relatively low cost and would recommend this kit to practicing medical students and residents. Overall, it is a complete package and would recommend it for the reasons below.
Pros:
1. Good set of materials and sutures, total of 8 sutures
2. The silicone skin offers a varying degree of cuts and lacerations to practice on.
3. The practice string is two toned to help beginners
4. You can use the kit on pork belly with pork skin for a very similar feel to human
Cons:
1. The silicone skin block does not feel like real skin, and gets damaged by the needle nose tweezers
2. The silicone skin also emits a horrible chemical odor. I needed to put out in the living room to air it out.
3. No clear instructions to tie or suture but you can easily find videos online anyhwere
Overall, would buy this again and recommend this to any of my colleagues in need of practice.

I just bought this kit through Amazon but I cannot figure out how to access the course or the online books. I tried to call but could not leave a message as the voice mail is full. Thank you for your assistance.
Dr. Anton Scheepers –
The course is online – I will email the link… apologies – will empty the voice mails for the day!
Artem Dyatlov –
Great Deal! It was a great deal!

GREAT KIT FOR PA CANDIDATES!!! Set yourself apart from the crowd by completing a FULL SUTURE INTENSIVE before your interview!! I LOVE THIS COURSE! Everything is so well explained and the Surgeon/Author obviously knows his stuff! I was thrilled when, after following the instructions and reviewing the demonstrations on the videos, I was able to tie a surgeons knot on the multi-wound simulation suture pad. All of the materials you need are in the case except gloves. I recommend you buy gloves to fit snugly and suture with them on right from the start. The instrumentation included was not the cheapo kind and performed well. You can complete an online assessment module and receive a Suturing Certificate with the purchase of the mini or standard kit. I am tempted to buy the larger, Standard Suture kit as well -just for fun!

Great buy. Got this as a gift for a friend who is a nurse practitioner with a new job at a urgent care clinic. Needed practice doing sutures as she haven’t done it since school. Found it to be very helpful.
Dr. Anton Scheepers –
Thanks a lot – on behalf of the Apprentice Team
Sara –
Great bang for your buck! I was trying to find the cheapest way to get everything I needed to practice suturing. All other kits I saw were over $30 and as a student that is just a bit too high but this one was affordable and came with everything I needed, needle driver, scissors, sutures, practice pad, everything. It all came in this nice carrying case. It was on time and as described. I recommend letting the practice pad sit outside for a few days and washing it because it has a strong plastic smell. But overall, this kit is a great way to practice and hopefully impress your preceptors.
Dr. Anton Scheepers –
Hi Sara – thank you for your kind comments – very welcome – out new kits we ventilate the silicone skin for a few days to get rid of most of the monomer. Thanks again!
