Use for live imaging guidance.

• Life-like radiopacity for realistic x-ray images
• Realistic injection haptics
• Anatomically accurate bone structure
• Visually identifiable landmarks

The Image Guided Lumbar Spinal Injection Trainer enables trainees to develop a three-dimensional understanding of the procedures for successful spine interventions. They will learn to correlate imaging with the lumbar spinal anatomy relevant to interventional pain procedures, to identify the target tissue and vulnerable structures using imaging and anatomic inspection, and to apply best practices to ensure patient safety during the interventional spine procedures. Using the Spinal Injection Trainer is an economic alternative for imaging techniques courses on cadavers and offers the instructors a reliable, standardized patient simulation always ready to use.

The following image guided spinal interventions can be trained on the simulator:
Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections (TFSI)
Intralaminar Epidural Injection
Facet Blocks
Medial Branch Block (MBB/RF)
S1-block
Sacroiliac Joint Injection (SIJ-injection)

The Lumbar Spinal Injection Trainer depicts the following bone structures:
Sacrum, S1-S3 (with sacral hiatus canal)
Ilium, bilateral without ischial bone and hip joint
T12-L5
Coccyx
