- Lifelike needle resistance, including pops when needle traverses ligamentum flavum and dura
- Self-healing skin that allows 15 uses with an 18 gauge needle and 25 uses with a 22 gauge
needle before replacement is necessary - Simple to fill simulated CSF and set fluid pressure, thereby allowing students to collect
CSF and measure CSF opening pressure - Pressure system with simple push-button operation to increase or decrease pressure
- LED displays pressure set-point ranging from low, medium to high pressure
- Practice procedure in the left lateral decubitus or sitting position
- Trainer can be used to simulate aseptic technique and local anesthetic at puncture site
