Features

• Easy to set up and use
• Simulated glucometer functions just like as a real glucometer with readings in mmol/L or mg/dL
• Scenario control – the tutor or technician may pre-program the simulated glucometer to give a high, medium, low or completely random blood glucose reading for training or simulation scenarios
• Natural size, realistic adult left hand. Middle and ring finger with removable blood pads for blood glucose sampling
• Refillable finger blood pads use Adam,Rouilly mock blood – no need for sugar or control solutions
• Ideal for scenario based simulation, hybrid simulation as well as patient education

Development

Adam,Rouilly is delighted to announce its latest product innovation, the GlucoHand® – Glucometer Simulator.

Diabetes affects some 415 million people globally and it is expected to affect one person in 10 by 2040, raising this international figure to 642 million. In the UK an estimated 4.5 million people live with diabetes. Effective diabetes management is now a growing part of those general skills which all clinicians must possess. Blood glucose monitoring remains key in managing diabetes. This model was designed by Nina Godson, Assistant Professor and Lead for Clinical Skills at Coventry University.

The GlucoHand® has been developed in recognition of this rising disease. It aids the understanding and teaching of blood sampling and the interpretation of glucose level data and its implications in patient treatment planning. The GlucoHand® also facilitates patient education, as approximately 700 people a day in the UK are diagnosed with diabetes.

Two issues before writing. Category: Uncategorized — this belongs in Clinical Skills Trainers or a Diabetic Training subcategory. Make field shows Adam, Rouilly Limited, UK — the actual manufacturer is Adam Rouilly themselves for this product (the GlucoHand® is their own branded product, not a third-party OEM distributed by them, unlike BIOTME/VATA/Limbs & Things). The AR-prefix item number (AR28) confirms this is an Adam Rouilly own-brand product. Excellent existing content on the page — one of the richest descriptions in this session.
Item No. AR28, weight blank, Make: Adam Rouilly Limited, UK ✓ (correctly attributed this time). Light skin tone. Designed by Nina Godson, Coventry University. Key features: programmable glucometer (high/medium/low/random), dual readout in mmol/L or mg/dL, reusable test strips, refillable finger blood pads using Adam Rouilly mock blood, life-size adult left hand cast from life.

Why Choose the Glucohand® Digital Glucometer Simulator – Light for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Glucohand® Digital Glucometer Simulator – Light (Item No. AR28) by Adam Rouilly Limited, UK is a life-size adult left hand blood glucose training simulator — cast from life in light skin tone — with two refillable finger blood pads in the middle and ring fingers, reusable simulated blood glucose test strips, and a programmable simulated glucometer that displays results in both mmol/L and mg/dL. For nursing colleges, diabetes education programmes, clinical skills labs, and NMC-mandated simulation centres in India where blood glucose monitoring is a core nursing competency, this simulator provides the complete blood glucose testing skill sequence on a realistic hand model, without consuming lancets, test strips, or control solutions on a live patient or a live volunteer.

Diabetes currently affects over 415 million people globally — India carries one of the world’s largest diabetes burdens — and blood glucose monitoring remains central to diabetes management. Effective glucometer technique is now a general clinical skill that all nurses must possess, not a specialty-only competency. The GlucoHand® was designed by Nina Godson, Assistant Professor and Lead for Clinical Skills at Coventry University, in direct response to this training need. The simulated glucometer functions exactly like a real glucometer: the tutor or technician pre-programs the device to produce a high, normal, low, or completely randomised blood glucose reading for each training or simulation scenario, enabling a structured curriculum that progresses from normal readings through hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic presentations requiring clinical intervention. Blood samples drawn from each finger pad are placed onto the reusable simulated test strip, which produces the pre-programmed result on the glucometer display for student interpretation. The refillable finger blood pads use Adam Rouilly mock blood — no sugar solutions or control solutions are needed, eliminating the mess and consumable cost of alternative approaches. Reusable test strips make ongoing training costs low.

Skills trained: patient communication around blood glucose testing; glucometer handling and test strip loading; aseptic technique around blood sampling; obtaining a blood sample and correct placement onto the test strip; interpreting the blood glucose reading as part of wider patient treatment planning.

Why Buy from SEM Trainers?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the glucometer reading be pre-set for different clinical scenarios?
A: Yes. The tutor pre-programs the simulated glucometer to display a high, normal, low, or completely random blood glucose reading — enabling scenario-based training across the full range of clinically relevant glucose presentations.

Q: Does the simulator display results in mmol/L and mg/dL?
A: Yes. The simulated glucometer displays results in both mmol/L and mg/dL, supporting training programmes using either measurement system.

Q: Are the test strips and blood pads reusable?
A: Yes. The simulated test strips are reusable for economical training. The finger blood pads are refillable with Adam Rouilly mock blood — no sugar or control solutions required.

All in One Solution for Blood Glucose Training

• The model features a simulated glucometer device which allows the tutor or trainer to pre-set a low, normal, high or completely randomised glucose reading
• Also includes a realistic adult sized hand, cast from life, with two refillable finger blood pads in the middle and ring fingers
• Blood samples from each of these finger tips may be drawn and measured using the supplied reusable simulated blood glucose test strips, which will produce a result on the simulated Glucometer which can then be interpreted by the student
