SKILLS
With the trainer it is possible to practice the following image-guided spinal interventions:
- Reference mark-guided techniques
- Intralaminar epidural steroid injection
- Transforaminal thoracic injection
- Thoracic zygapophyseal articulation
- Nerve injection (medial branch)
- Intra-articular injection
- Thoracic zygapophysis articulation
- Intercostal nerve block (INNB)
CHARACTERISTICS
The following bony structures are represented in the Thoracic Spine Injection Trainer:
The trainer is particularly suitable for use in imaging courses due to these technical features:
- Self-obturating material that can be used repeatedly for injection training
- Completely portable with secure carrying case
- Durable and easy to clean product
Description
The Image-Guided Thoracic Injection Trainer enables trainees to acquire 3D knowledge of the procedures required to perform successful spinal interventions. With this product you will learn to correlate the generated images with the anatomy of the thoracic spine involved in interventional pain management procedures, identify target tissue and vulnerable structures through imaging and anatomical recognition, and apply best practices to ensure patient safety during spinal surgery.
Spinal Injection Trainers are a cost-effective alternative to cadaveric imaging courses and provide instructors with a standardised and reliable patient simulation system that is always ready for use:
- Close-to-reality radiopacity for realistic radiological images
- Injection with realistic tactile sensation
- Anatomically accurate bone structure
- Visually identifiable landmarks
