Lumbar Puncture Injection Simulator

This simulator provides feedback combined with a fluid supply and pressure system, allowing the collection of CSF (Cerebro Spinal Fluid) and measurement of opening pressure. The simulator is suitable for practising injection of local anaesthesia, aseptic technique, needle insertion between vertebrae, lumbar puncture and epidural anaesthesia. Anatomical features include: iliac crests, lumbar vertebrae L2-L5, ligamentum flavum, epidural space, and dura. Needle insertion possible between vertebrae. Life-like needle resistance, including pops when needle penetrates ligamentum flavum and dura. Self-healing skin that allows 15 uses with an 18 gauge needle and 25 uses with a 22 gauge needle before replacement is necessary. Simple to fill simulated CSF and set fluid pressure, allowing students to collect CSF and measure CSF opening pressure. Pressure system with simple push-button operation to increase or decrease pressure. LED displays pressure set-point ranging from low, medium to high pressure. Practice procedure in the left lateral decubitus or sitting position. This simulator can also be used to simulate aseptic and local anaesthetic techniques at puncture site.
