Life/Form Paediatric Lumber Puncture Simulator

The Life/form Paediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator is a realistic trainer for the performing of lumbar punctures on infant patients. Allowing the practise of palpation, skin preparation and needle positioning, the simulator provides an effective way of teaching a delicate but common procedure.

Demonstrates Delicate Infant Procedure 

The trainer represents a 10 - 12 month old infant placed in a left lateral decubitus position with the neck and knees flexed, approximating the necessary fetal position. The embedded iliac crest offers exceptional realism, while removable spine, spinal canal and skin pad make training simple and hassle free. Lumbar puncture may be performed in the L3-L4, L4-L5, or L5-S1 spaces. The correct site can be located by palpating the ilia crest and spine and a small "give" will be felt as the spinal needle is advanced slowly into the proper space. Fluid will flow when the needle is in proper position.
