Pharmabiotics® Lumbar Injection Trainer

Full Lumbar Injection Training In A Small Package

This trainer is designed to help trainee anesthetists acquire the necessary tactile skills for epidural anesthesia prior to hands-on patient experience. If the epidural needle is inserted too deeply a slight resistance is felt before the needle penetrates the durra. Features found in the trainer include: Tactile and visual access to the lumbar spine, the epidural space and the dural sac. Can be positioned in lying or lateral recumbent position. Spinous processes and the interspinous spaces are palpable beneath the skin. Epidural injection is carried out using either air or saline to detect loss of resistance and if accidental dural puncture occurs, “cerebrospinal fluid“ will appear. Can be easily dissembled at any time to show position of needle during penetration. Consists of skin, muscle layer, ligamentum flavum, vertebral bones and intra-spinal ligament. Supplied with an all-metal Tuohy needle and a loss of resistance syringe.
