  Tests and Games

This is not just a quick "how-to" experiment kit for kids, and it's much more than a first aid kit! Rather, it's a complete suturing practice course that teaches the techniques of stitching up wounds.

The heart of the course is an online eLearning course that takes you step-by-step through the content. You learn by reading, watching videos, and actually practicing the knots and suture techniques using a triple-layer "imitation skin" practice pad.

Step into the shoes of medical students, watch the videos, and practice the sutures again and again with your suture tool kit until you're confident you've mastered them!

This complete How to Suture Wounds Course and Kit offers a thorough understanding of the different suturing techniques and when they are used.

Advanced technique tip: While the imitation skin practice suture pad functions well as you learn various suturing knots, once you're ready to simulate a more realistic experience, buy a cut of raw meat from the butcher shop and practice on it.
