Lumbar Puncture Infant

• 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 simulator educates individuals on the skills used to collect samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure, or to inject medications intrathecally.

• The embedded iliac crest offers exceptional realism, while the removable spine, spinal canal and skin pad make training simple and hassle free. 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.
