Outline

This model represents a five-year-old child and is an ideal choice for demonstration and practice of lumbar puncture techniques. Realistic resistance to needle tips and correct landmarks provide excellent hands-on experience.

Skills Gained

  · Patient positioning

  · Anatomical understanding and palpation

  · Lumbar puncture and CSF collection

  · CSF pressure measurement

Features

   · Anatomy: 

      Palpable and accurate anatomical structures like spinous process, anterior superior spine, apex of the iliac crest

          · Realism: 

            Advanced material for true-to-life skin touch, feel and puncture

          · Key Features:

           1)  Resistance & “pop” felt through the needles

           2)  Lateral decubitus position can be placed

           3)  Bend the model to the maximum and find the intersection of the line of the highest point of the iliac crest and the posterior median line to locate L1-L4

           4)  Simulated CSF (water) flows out after successful puncture; the color of the liquid can be changed as required

           5)  The waist can be bent repeatedly, and it will be restored to the original after relaxation

           6)  Durability & lumbar pad easy to replace
