The SAM IO Training Kit is a complete, self-contained intraosseous skills system. It pairs the SAM IO driver with genuine Sawbones simulation bone so trainees feel a realistic cortex on insertion rather than practicing into foam that teaches the wrong tactile cue. Choose the anatomical site your protocols emphasize, or the three-bone kit if you teach all of them.
Training officers usually face a choice between buying a full commercial simulator that lives in a classroom or improvising with expired clinical stock. This kit sits in between: portable enough to bring to a station drill, realistic enough that the skill actually transfers. The three-bone option is the right call for agencies whose protocols allow multiple insertion sites, since site selection is itself a decision trainees need to practice.
The kit works with SAM IO Gen II Training Needles in 15mm (IO825), 25mm (IO826), and 45mm (IO827), plus a mixed pack (IO828), sold in 15-count packages and ordered separately as consumables. The included driver is the same IO700 platform used clinically, so hand position and insertion feel match the field device. The IO Training Case is listed here as a standalone option for programs that already own the kit contents and need transport. Note that SAM has discontinued the distal tibia training kit; all remaining configurations now feature the Gen II needle.
