The Gaumard® Lumbar Puncture Trainer - Light (SKU: SB50854L) is a state-of-the-art simulation model designed to provide realistic training for lumbar puncture and epidural procedures. This trainer offers lifelike tactile feedback, allowing practitioners to experience the nuances of needle insertion between vertebrae.
Key Features:
-
Realistic Tactile Feedback: Simulates the feel of needle insertion between lumbar vertebrae, enhancing procedural realism.
-
CSF Collection Capability: Allows for the collection of simulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and measurement of opening pressure, crucial for accurate diagnostics.
-
Adjustable Pressure System: Features a fluid supply and pressure system with an LED display to set and monitor pressure levels ranging from low to high.
-
Anatomical Accuracy: Includes detailed representations of iliac crests, lumbar vertebrae L2-L5, ligamentum flavum, epidural space, and dura.
-
Durable Construction: Equipped with self-healing skin that withstands multiple needle insertions—up to 15 uses with an 18-gauge needle and 25 uses with a 22-gauge needle before replacement is necessary.
-
Position Versatility: Can be used in left lateral decubitus or sitting positions to simulate various patient scenarios.
This trainer is ideal for practicing injection of local anesthesia, aseptic technique, needle insertion, lumbar puncture, and epidural procedures.
