A lumbar puncture model is a medical training tool used to practice and simulate the procedure of performing a lumbar puncture, also known as a spinal tap. It is typically a physical model that mimics the human anatomy of the lower back and spinal column.
The lumbar puncture model is designed to provide a realistic representation of the relevant anatomical structures, including the vertebrae, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues. It often includes a simulated spinal canal filled with a fluid that resembles cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals use the lumbar puncture model to learn and practice the correct technique for performing a lumbar puncture. This includes identifying the appropriate landmarks for needle insertion, understanding the angle and depth of needle insertion, and practicing the proper handling of the needle and collection of CSF.
The lumbar puncture model allows trainees to develop and refine their skills in a safe and controlled environment before performing the procedure on actual patients. It helps build confidence and proficiency in performing lumbar punctures, which are commonly used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in various medical specialties, such as neurology, anesthesiology, and infectious disease.
Other medical training tools that are commonly used alongside the lumbar puncture model include the First Aid Skill Training Model, the Intravenous Injection Arm, the Mattress Sutures Model, and the Full Body Trauma Manikin. These tools provide hands-on practice and simulation for a wide range of medical procedures and scenarios, such as trauma training, ACLS training, CPR training, airway management, and more.
By utilizing these advanced training models and simulation tools, healthcare professionals can enhance their clinical skills, develop diagnostic and procedural proficiency, and improve patient care outcomes. These training tools are essential for medical education and continuous professional development, allowing healthcare providers to stay updated with the latest techniques and best practices in the field of medicine.
Features：
1. Lifelike appearance, realistic texture, lateral position
2. Waist movable
3. Accurate waist structure and obvious landmarks
4. The operations that can be performed: lumbar anesthesia, lumbar puncture, epidural block, caudal nerve block, sacral nerve block, lumbar sympathetic nerve block
5. Realistic puncture experience: when the puncture needle reaches the simulated ligamentum flavum, the resistance increases and there is a sense of toughness. When the puncture needle breaks through the ligamentum flavum, there is an obvious sense of empty, it means enters the epidural space and there has negative pressure, inject liquid to simulate epidural anesthesia. If the needle continues to be inserted, the endorhachis and arachnoid membrane will be punctured, and the second sense of empty will appea, it means enters the subarachnoid space, there will be outflow of simulated cerebrospinal fluid
