The Pediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator offers a realistic and practice-oriented way to practice the technique of lumbar puncture on a 10-12 month old child. This model has been specifically designed to help learners develop the necessary skills for performing lumbar punctures in the pediatric setting. The simulator depicts the child in a left lateral decubitus position with flexed neck and bent knees, corresponding to the fetal position of a newborn. The removable spine and spinal canal design allow for stress-free practice, and the anatomical landmarks, such as the iliac crest, are extremely realistic and palpable. The lumbar puncture can be performed in the intervertebral spaces L3-L4, L4-L5, or L5-S1. The needle penetrates the model, and when it reaches the correct position, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is simulated. This simulator is a valuable resource for training medical professionals who want to learn how to perform this important diagnostic and therapeutic procedure safely and effectively.
Areas of application:
-
Pediatric medicine: Ideal for training doctors and nurses in lumbar puncture in infants
-
Medical training: Perfect for students and trainees in the fields of emergency medicine, neurology and pediatrics
-
Diagnostic procedures: Offers a practical opportunity to practice the procedure for cerebrospinal fluid collection, measurement of opening pressure, and intrathecal drug administration.
-
Simulation of procedures: Helps train medical personnel in the safe performance of lumbar punctures and intrathecal injections in children
Advantages at a glance:
-
Realistic anatomical representation: The model offers an accurate replica of a 10-12 month old child with realistic, palpable anatomical landmarks such as the iliac crest and spine.
-
Flexibility and interchangeability: The lumbar pad is easily replaceable, making the model suitable for numerous exercise sessions.
-
Real-time feedback: The simulator provides realistic resistance and tactile feedback when inserting the needle, giving learners the right feel for performing a lumbar puncture.
-
Fluid extraction: Once the needle is correctly positioned, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is simulated, allowing for practical practice in extracting cerebrospinal fluid.
-
Pressure measurement and intrathecal injections: The model can be used to measure the cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure and to perform intrathecal injections.
-
Stable training unit: The model is attached to a stable plate, which provides the necessary stability during training.
