Description

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

Provides realistic tactile feedback combined with a fluid supply and pressure system, allowing the collection of CSF and measurement of opening pressure. Ideal for practicing injection of local anesthesia, aseptic technique, needle insertion between vertebrae, lumbar puncture, and epidural.

Its separate spine and replaceable tissue mean the model is a cost-effective way to train large numbers of students.
