Erler-Zimmer GmbH & Co. KG Pediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator:
- Model R11031:
- Infants often require a lumbar puncture as a diagnostic procedure to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid, measure its pressure, or administer medications intrathecally.
- The Pediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator depicts a 10-12 month old infant positioned in the left lateral decubitus position, with the neck and knees flexed, closely matching the required fetal position.
- The built-in hip crest provides exceptional realism, while the removable spine, spinal canal, and leather cushion make learning easier and eliminate worry.
- Lumbar puncture can be performed at the L3-L4, L4-L5, or L5-S1 spaces.
- The correct location can be determined by palpating the iliac crest and spine. A slight resistance will be felt as the needle is slowly inserted into the correct space. Fluid will flow when the needle is in the correct position.
- Students will appreciate the opportunity to practice this delicate but frequently performed procedure on a simulator that is attractive and anatomically accurate.
