The Paediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator represents a 10–12 month old infant positioned in the left lateral decubitus position, with the neck and knees flexed to approximate the fetal position required for lumbar puncture procedures.This simulator helps learners develop the skills required to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure, and perform intrathecal injections. Anatomical landmarks such as the iliac crest and spine can be palpated to identify the correct puncture site before performing the procedure.Lumbar puncture may be performed in the L3–L4, L4–L5, or L5–S1 spaces. As the needle advances, users will feel a small“give” sensation, and simulated CSF will flow when the needle reaches the proper space. The removable spine, spinal canal, and replaceable skin pad allow the simulator to be easily maintained for repeated training use.The simulator arrives mounted to a sturdy board for stability during practice.Key Features• Realistic paediatric lumbar puncture training simulator• Anatomically correct infant positioned for lumbar puncture procedures• Palpable iliac crest and spine for accurate landmark identification• Lumbar puncture may be performed at L3–L4, L4–L5, or L5–S1• Realistic resistance and“give” sensation during needle insertion•Simulated CSF flow when the needle reaches the correct position•Replaceable lumbar puncture pad with spine and spinal tubing• Mounted to a board for stability during trainingIdeal For• Nursing education programs• Medical and physician training programs• Paediatric procedure training• Simulation labs and skills training centers• Lumbar puncture competency trainingProduct SpecificationsIncludes: Paediatric Lumbar Puncture Infant mounted on board, lumbar puncture pad with spine and spinal tubing, IV bag with tubing, baby powder, hard carry case, and instruction manualNote: Fluid supply stand and needle not includedShipping Weight: 20 lbsDimensions: 23 x 16 x 9 inches
