Erler Zimmer Paediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator

Erler zimmer paediatric lumbar puncture simulator



Features and Benefits

• Infants commonly require lumbar puncture as a diagnostic procedure used to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure, or to inject medications intrathecally.
• The Pediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator 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 the removable spine, spinal canal and skin pad make training simple and hasslefree.
• Lumbar puncture may be performed in the L3-L4, L4-L5, or L5-S1 spaces.
• The correct site can be located by palpating the iliac crest and spine.
• 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. Students will appreciate the opportunity to practice this delicate but commonly performed procedure on a simulator that is both appealing and anatomically accurate.
