It's better than nothing
I don't know how the rubber compared to other kits because it's the only one I've used, but I found it very difficult and quite unlike the real thing. It was maybe a bit useful for getting used to the curve of the needle and for practicing knot tying.When I went on to suture on real skin I didn't feel like the kit had really helped me much other than that.The sutures are also fine for practicing, but the 2 other brands that I've tried so far are much better for doing the real the thing. I started using these and then switched to a different suture brand that had the same specifications (4-0 nylon monofilament) and the other sutures were so much more comfortable and easy to use, as was the third brand I tried. I still have a few packets of these around that I'm probably never going to use.The scissors forceps, and needle drivers are all fine. I upgraded to a slightly nicer set of needle drivers, but these are definitely fine. The tools are the reason this is getting 4 instead of 3 stars.I also autoclaved them and they held up fine with at least one cycle, though I can't say how well they'd hold up through repeated cycles.

Broken hemostat-- replacement on the way
Update: I contacted Your Design Medical with my concern and they promptly sent me a replacement instrument as well as a gift free of charge. I am highly impressed with the customer service! #YDMI was very excited to receive my new suture kit to practice my skills but was disappointed when the hemostat arrived broken. One entire arm was just snapped off at the base! For $40 and a relatively small "practice skin" I expected slightly better quality instruments.I don't want to send the whole thing back because I have another hemostat I am borrowing in the meantime for practice, but I would like a replacement instrument for my kit!If not for this downfall this kit would have been perfect!

Rat tooth forceps are almost impossible to use while suturing except for tenting the skin. The tools themselves are fine but after some practice the "skin" started to break down pretty quick. For the same cost you might be able to find better by buying pieces seperately.

kit is great, suture pad isn't 'great' but you get what you pay for. It works so you can practice ties, although gives very little experience towards actual suturing through skin.

Practice skin too flimsy
The tools are fine, the sutures are fine but the skin is not so good. It continually rips and is flimsy. The sutures come right out when trying to tie off. Perhaps I am too heavy handed but it is annoying that a product that cost this much is so flimsy. Yes there are other reviews saying the same thing so you decide for yourself. I probably would not buy this product again.

You won't find a better product.
If you're interested in learning to suture, this product is amazing. The feel is close to real, and thickness of the media allows for practicing on deeper sutures.If you're not interested in learning to suture, why are you looking at this product?
