Lumbar Epidural Trainer (LE-30)

Safely master critical techniques for spinal epidural insertion and catheterization with Simulab’s easy-to-use, ultrasound-guided Lumbar Epidural Trainer. Our true-to-life simulator sits upright or in a lateral decubitus position and features the lumbar vertebrae, iliac crest, spinous process, ligamentum flavum, epidural space, and dura. The trainer is available with three varieties of lifelike, ultrasound compatible replaceable tissues that mirror significant anatomical differences found in obese, geriatric, and normal patient populations. Every tissue allows users to experience variances in disc thickness and soft tissue depth on top of the vertebrae.
