Infants commonly require lumbar puncture as a diagnostic procedure used to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure, or inject medications intrathecally.
The Lifeform Paediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator represents a 10-12-month-old infant placed in a left lateral decubitus position with the neck and knees flexed, approximating the necessary foetal position.
The embedded iliac crest offers exceptional realism, while the removable spine, spinal canal and skin pad make training simple and hassle-free.
Lumbar puncture may be performed in the L3-L4, L4-L5, or L5-S1 spaces. The correct site can be located by palpating the iliac crest and spine. A small give will be felt as the spinal needle is advanced slowly into the proper space. Fluid will flow when the needle is in the proper position.
Anatomically correct and palpable
Correct body positioning
The lumbar pad is easy to replace
Realistic resistance
Simulated CSF flows with successful puncture
The Lifeform Paediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator arrives attached to a board for stability during practice. Includes the Paediatric Lumbar Puncture Infant on a sturdy board, one lumbar puncture pad with spine and spinal tubing, IV bag with tubing, baby powder, hard carrying case, and instruction manual.

Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
