Lumbar puncture simulator 61001

trainingepidural injectionfor general care

The Advanced Epidural & Lumbar Puncture trainer is suitable for use in Clinical Skills Centres, where both early postgraduate medical and anaesthesia specialisms are taught. Trainees are at a more advanced stage of training, and great realism and the ability to practice on a variety of patients is essential for continued learning. What are the latest features that support training in administering lumbar punctures? In training sessions, medical students will get a true to life experience, including: A distinctive “pop” when puncturing the Dura (using the standard Dura) during a lumbar puncture procedure or more subtle feedback when using the advanced Dura. Measurable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, model can present realistic pressure between 5 to 25 cmH2O Realistic flow of fluid from the water reservoir, increasing the volume of water will increase the flow rate allowing for quicker training What are the latest features that support training in epidural procedures? Ligamentum flavum and interspinous ligaments allow for more realistic haptic feedback and practice of loss of resistance techniques during needle insertion. 6mm epidural space between the insert and the dura enable practice threading an epidural catheter and administering fluids Softer silicone on either side of the spine offers greater realism and the paramedian approach is easier to perform Four epidural inserts are supplied with this model, the advanced insert has a steeper angle with a reduced epidural space, allowing practice of more difficult injections The advanced model comes with three fat pads that can be inserted behind the Skin Pad.
