Description
Why Choose the Kyoto Kagaku Epidural Anesthesia Simulator (MW3) for Your Simulation Lab in India?
The Epidural Anesthesia Simulator (Item No. MW3) by Kyoto Kagaku, Japan is a 5 kg, 48 × 23 × 29 cm life-size unisex torso simulator for epidural anaesthesia training at both the lumbar and thoracic areas, as well as lumbar puncture — making it the broadest-coverage epidural simulator in the catalogue. For anaesthesiology training programmes, pain management training, obstetric anaesthesia courses, and NMC-mandated simulation labs in India that need to train epidural technique at multiple spinal levels on a single simulator, the MW3 covers what the lumbar-only P61 (3B Scientific) cannot.
The simulator delivers true-to-life resistance with the characteristic “pop” sensation as the epidural needle traverses the ligamentum flavum and enters the epidural space — the tactile cue that experienced anaesthesiologists rely on for clinical placement confirmation, and that trainees must learn to recognise before working on real patients. Loss-of-resistance to saline or water is simulated correctly, training the loss-of-resistance technique in addition to the pop sensation. The broad puncture pad enables practice of both the paramedian approach and the median approach on the same pad — training the two clinically used needle trajectories without requiring two separate training setups. Five interchangeable puncture pads are included, providing a substantial training stock before replacement is needed. Replacement puncture pads (part number 11382-010, 2 pads per pack) are available separately. Recommended needle sizes: 18G epidural, 21G spinal. Needles are not included. Set includes: 1 life-size unisex torso, 5 puncture pads, 1 supporting stand, 1 × 50 ml syringe. Latex-free construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What spinal levels can be trained on this simulator?
A: Both the lumbar and thoracic epidural areas, plus lumbar puncture — distinguishing the MW3 from simulators that train only the lumbar level.
Q: What approaches does this simulator support?
A: Both the paramedian and median needle approaches, enabled by the broad puncture pad design.
Q: Are needles included, and what sizes are recommended?
A: Needles are not included. Recommended sizes: 18G epidural needle, 21G spinal needle.
