Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Lateral ventricle puncture trainer that covers the whole procedure: locating the cranial entry point, drilling the burr hole, inserting the catheter and providing the subsequent care of the external ventricular drain. It is designed so that the trainee does not stop at the puncture but goes on to manage the drainage system, which is where the complications arise.

Anatomy

The head reproduces the palpable cranial landmarks that guide the trajectory to the lateral ventricle. The ventricular system is filled with simulated fluid, so the flow of fluid confirms that the catheter is correctly sited.

Realism

The burr hole and puncture area is replaceable, which allows the procedure to be repeated without wearing out the model. Once the catheter is in place, trainees can practise levelling the system, checking patency, keeping the insertion site aseptic and recording intracranial pressure and output.
