Practice diagnosing and managing the presence of knee effusion with this anatomically correct Arthrocentesis Model.
The trainer represents an extended left leg with ultrasound-compatible areas, including the patella, patellar ligament, tibia, fibula, femur, synovial sac, and synovial fluid. Aspirate synovial fluid from a joint cavity using the medial or lateral approach. Insertion sites include suprapatellar and parapatellar access.
Ultrasound compatible
Highly durable replaceable tissue for multiple uses
Realistic tactile feedback
A sensation of bony contact when the needle hits the patella
A sensation of bony contact when the needle hits the femur
Inability to aspirate the syringe while the needle tip is in the soft tissue superficial to the joint capsule
Easy aspiration of joint fluid into the syringe once entry is achieved
Fluid can be left clear or be colored if desired
Increase or decrease the size of effusion with up to 60 ccs of fluid
Learn to ballot or milk the suprapatellar pouch
Needle aspiration and injection techniques
Palpating anatomic landmarks significant to the procedure
Realistic tactile feedback throughout the procedure
