APEIT100 - Lumbar Epidural Injection Trainer

Contact us for further information on this product

 

  • Designed to help trainee anaesthetists acquire the necessary tactile skills for epidural anaesthesia
  • Loss of resistance to air or saline is the key stage in performing an epidural injection and is a difficult skill to learn, requiring repeated experience of the changes that occur as the epidural needle is advanced
  • Offers both tactile and visual access to the lumbar spine, the epidural space and the dural sac
  • The spinous processes and the interspinous spaces can be palpated beneath the skin
  • Epidural injection is carried out using either air or saline to detect loss of resistance and if accidental dural puncture occurs, cerebrospinal fluid will appear
  • The tissue layers of the trainer replicate the tactile feedback from the skin and subcutaneous tissues, the intersinous ligaments and the ligamentum flavium
  • Easy to disassemble revealing the relevant anatomical details and where the needle tip has been directed
  • The spinous processes of LI-5 are palpable and epidural injection can be performed at all four interspinous levels
  • Includes:
    • Touhy needle
    • Loss of resistance syringe
