The best way is to find a drug rep from johnson and johnson. Check with the surgery department, they should know the drug rep. The company will mail kits to the school.

thanks, but I know there is a company, that if you go to their website, they will send you one for free. Just me, not my school! I just can't remember which company. Does anyone else?

Practice kits would be good to have. I was trying to tie knots with an OB/Gyn the other day and he kept going on about how I was "all thumbs" and how I tied like a "future psychiatrist".

You're probably thinking of Ethicon's practice kit. You can get their knot tying manual for free (download it off their site) but I'm not sure they sell the kit anymore. I suppose e-mailing them wouldn't hurt.

Here's a link to the Ethicon Knot Tying Manual site
