Description
Key Features
Realistic Radiopacity: The model is constructed with materials that accurately mimic the radiopacity of real bone and tissue under fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray). This feature is essential for learning how to interpret imaging and navigate the spine.
Authentic Injection Feel: The simulator provides a realistic tactile experience, including the resistance of the skin and ligaments and the subtle "pop" or loss of resistance felt when the needle enters the correct anatomical space.
Anatomically Accurate Bone Structure: The trainer includes a detailed and accurate representation of the lower back's bony anatomy, from the T12 vertebra down to the coccyx. This allows trainees to practice palpating landmarks and accurately placing needles.
Durable, Self-Sealing Material: The training material is designed to be self-sealing, allowing the model to withstand multiple injections without significant damage. This makes it an economical and long-lasting training solution.
Portable and Reusable: The model is completely portable and comes with a durable carrying case, making it easy to transport and store. Its construction ensures longevity and a consistent training experience.
Uses
The Image Guided Lumbar Spinal Injection Trainer is an invaluable tool for:
Interventional Pain Management Training: Trainees can practice a wide range of image-guided spinal procedures, including epidural steroid injections (transforaminal and interlaminar), facet joint blocks, and sacroiliac (SI) joint injections.
Radiology and Anesthesiology Programs: It is used in residency and fellowship programs to teach participants how to navigate the spine using fluoroscopy, identify target tissues, and safely perform injections while avoiding critical structures.
Continuing Education: The trainer is ideal for workshops and continuing medical education courses, where experienced physicians and other healthcare professionals can refresh their skills or learn new techniques in a safe, controlled environment.
Medical Education: The model provides a reliable, standardized alternative to cadaver-based training, helping students build a strong foundation in lumbar anatomy and interventional procedures.
