Description
Key Features
Realistic Radiopacity: The model is made from materials that accurately mimic the radiopacity of human bone and tissue when viewed under fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray). This feature is essential for learning how to interpret imaging and safely guide needles through the spine.
Authentic Injection Feel: The simulator provides a realistic tactile experience, including the resistance of the skin and ligaments, as well as the subtle "give" or "pop" felt when the needle enters the correct anatomical space.
Anatomically Accurate Bone Structure: The model precisely represents the thoracic vertebrae from T3 to T8 and the corresponding ribs. This detailed anatomy allows trainees to practice palpating landmarks and ensuring accurate needle placement.
Reusable, Self-Sealing Material: The training material is designed to be self-sealing, allowing the model to be used for multiple injections without significant damage. This makes it an economical and long-lasting training solution.
Portable and Durable: The model is completely portable and comes with a secure transport box, making it easy to move between different training environments. Its durable construction ensures a consistent training experience over time.
Uses
The Image Guided Thoracic Spinal Injection Trainer is an invaluable tool for:
Interventional Pain Management Training: The model is specifically designed for practicing a variety of image-guided procedures in the thoracic spine, such as interlaminar epidural steroid injections, transforaminal injections, and medial branch blocks.
Radiology and Anesthesiology Programs: It is a core resource for residency and fellowship programs, where trainees learn to use fluoroscopy to navigate the thoracic spine, identify target tissues, and avoid critical structures.
Continuing Medical Education: Experienced physicians and other healthcare professionals can use the model in workshops to refresh their skills or learn new, advanced interventional techniques in a risk-free environment.
Medical and Surgical Education: The trainer provides a safe, reliable, and standardized alternative to cadaver-based training, helping students build a strong foundation in thoracic anatomy and its relevance to interventional pain procedures.
