Description
Why Choose the Kyoto Kagaku Lumbar Puncture Simulator IIA for Your Simulation Lab in India?
The Lumbar Puncture Simulator IIA (Item No. M43B) by Kyoto Kagaku, Japan is a 33 × 21 × 30 cm latex-free adult lumbar puncture and epidural anaesthesia training simulator — described by Kyoto Kagaku as the world’s best training simulator for lumbar puncture and epidural anaesthesia, developed and supervised by Prof. Takahiro Amano, M.D., Vice President and Senior Vice-Dean, International University of Health and Welfare. For anaesthesiology training programmes, neurology residency courses, emergency medicine simulation labs, and NMC-mandated clinical skills labs in India that need a multi-scenario LP and epidural training platform beyond a single patient-type simulator, the M43B is the most feature-complete adult LP simulator in the catalogue.
The defining capability is the six interchangeable lumbar puncture blocks covering five distinct patient presentations: two normal CSF blocks, one obesity CSF block, one senior CSF block, one senior obesity CSF block, and one epidural block — enabling trainees to practise on anatomically and mechanically different patient types in a single session without changing simulators. The simulator provides realistic skin and tissue resistance during insertion, CSF fluid pressure measurement, CSF fluid collection, epidural nerve block with realistic needle-tip sensation, and loss-of-resistance technique simulation — covering the complete LP and epidural procedure skill set. A new stable supporting stand accommodates both one-person and team training scenarios, and a separate support base for team teaching allows multiple learners to observe simultaneously. Skills trained include landmark palpation, LP needle insertion, CSF collection, CSF pressure measurement, epidural anaesthesia, and anatomical understanding. Recommended needle sizes: 18G epidural, 21G spinal. Needles are not included.
Replacement blocks available separately: normal CSF (11348-090), obesity CSF (11348-110), senior CSF (11348-120), senior obesity CSF (11348-130), epidural block (11348-140), lumbar region skin cover light tone (11348-150), dark tone (11348-150-D). Optional ultrasound-compatible block available (11348-190).
