Suture Practice Kit Guide
Everything you need to know about your kit, the included instruments, and how to care for them during your practice sessions.
You now have your suture kit! This guide is designed to help you identify each piece, understand the purpose of the included material, and answer the most common questions before you begin your practice.
The Care Collection, Stickers Collection, and Black Collection kits have been designed for training and simulation, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the instruments and repeat your exercises on a silicone pad.
Important: These kits are intended exclusively for training and simulation purposes. The included instruments and consumables should only be used for educational purposes on the practice pad. They must not be used to perform clinical procedures on people or animals.
What will you find inside your kit?
Although the exterior design changes depending on the collection, the kits include the essential material to start practicing:
Silicone suture pad
This is the main component for training.
It features different simulated wounds, cuts, and incisions that allow for repeated practice on a surface specifically designed for training.
You can use the pre-made areas or work on other sections of the pad designated for training.
5 monofilament nylon sutures with curved needles
These are the threads included for performing exercises on the pad.
Monofilament nylon allows you to get used to handling the thread and needle during simulation practice.
Attention: needles are sharp objects. Handle them with caution and keep them out of reach of children.
Hegar needle holder
This is the instrument designed to hold and control the needle during simulation exercises.
Its locking system helps keep the needle fixed while you practice coordinating your movements.
Adson forceps with teeth
These allow you to hold and manipulate the material of the pad during exercises.
Their format makes it easier to work with precision in areas near the simulated incisions.
Iris scissors
These are included to cut the thread used during practice.
Their compact size facilitates working with precision in the training area.
5 blades
These allow you to create new incisions exclusively on the silicone pad to expand your training possibilities.
Blades are sharp objects and must be handled with special caution.
They must never be used on people or animals.
Once used, they must be stored or disposed of safely, avoiding accidental contact with the edge.
Gloves and accessories
Depending on the kit configuration, you will also find gloves, wipes, and different support accessories for your training sessions.

Before you start practicing, take a few minutes to identify each piece in the kit.

Three collections, the same goal
Care Collection
A healthcare-themed design in pastel tones, specially thought for those who want to combine their practice with a different and easily identifiable case.
Available in different finishes within the collection.
Stickers Collection
A case inspired by icons and elements related to the world of healthcare.
A practical option to keep all your instruments organized and easily differentiate your kit from other class materials.
Black Collection
A version with a more sober and professional aesthetic, with the instruments and accessories organized inside a compact case.
Before you begin your practice
Prepare a stable, well-lit, and uncluttered surface.
Check that you have identified the instruments you are going to use and keep the needles and blades controlled at all times.
Work exclusively on the included pad.
When you finish, gather all the instruments and put them back inside their case.
How to care for your kit
The pad is designed to withstand multiple training sessions, but its lifespan will depend on usage.
To keep your kit in good condition:
- Store the instruments clean and dry.
- Do not force the zippers or internal fasteners of the case.
- Keep needles and blades protected when not in use.
- Avoid storing the pad next to objects that could deform or damage it.
- Store the kit in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Check the condition of the material before each practice session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this kit on a person?
No. The kit is designed exclusively for education, training, and simulation on the included pad.
It must not be used to perform clinical procedures on people or animals.
Can I practice several times on the same pad?
Yes. The pad is designed to perform multiple training exercises.
With continued use, marks and wear will appear, which is normal for this type of simulation material.
Can I make new incisions on the pad?
The kit includes blades intended for making exercises on the training pad.
Always handle them with caution and use them only on the simulation surface.
Are the needles real?
The sutures incorporate needles and therefore must be handled as sharp objects.
Avoid touching them directly and keep them protected when not in use.
What is the needle holder for?
It allows you to hold and control the needle during simulation exercises.
What are the Adson forceps for?
They allow you to hold and manipulate the simulated material while performing the exercises.
What are the Iris scissors for?
They are used to cut the thread during practice.
Are the instruments reusable?
The metal instruments are intended to be used in successive training sessions on the pad.
This does not mean that they are instruments intended for clinical use.
Can I take the kit to class?
Yes. One of its goals is precisely to keep all the material organized in a compact format that you can transport to classes, workshops, and practice sessions.
Is it only intended for Nursing students?
No. It can be used as simulation material by students of Nursing, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, and other healthcare fields where basic instrument handling and suture practice are performed.
Do you need more sutures or materials for your practice?
Keep practicing and complete your training material.
You can find material for your practice, instruments, accessories, and other products for students and healthcare professionals at Enfermanía.
