Lumbar Spine Fluoroscopy Training Phantom

Description

Why Choose the Kyoto Kagaku Lumbar Spine Fluoroscopy Training Phantom (PH-51) for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Lumbar Spine Fluoroscopy Training Phantom (Item No. PH-51, W33 × D21 × H30 cm, 1.5 kg assessment unit) by Kyoto Kagaku, Japan is an ideal hands-on training tool for vertebroplasty and fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures on a lumbar torso phantom with a radio-opaque L2-L5 spine clearly visible under X-ray imaging. Developed and supervised by Dr. David Wilson MBBS, BSc, MFSEM, FRCP, FRCR, Consultant Musculoskeletal Interventional Radiologist and Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Oxford — the definitive credential for an interventional radiology training phantom. For interventional radiology training programmes, orthopaedic surgery residency courses, anaesthesiology training, and NMC-mandated simulation labs in India that need to train fluoroscopy-guided lumbar spinal procedures with realistic tissue penetration feedback on a radiation-compatible phantom, this is the only Kyoto Kagaku phantom in the catalogue combining vertebroplasty and epidural/nerve block training on a single platform.

Two interchangeable and replaceable training blocks define the dual-purpose capability. The vertebroplasty block trains the complete vertebroplasty procedure sequence — identifying the pedicle under fluoroscopy, advancing the needle through the pedicle into the vertebral body, and injecting bone cement — with true-to-life sensation when penetrating soft tissue and bone. The anesthesia block trains fluoroscopy-guided epidural anaesthesia and associated procedures: needle placement for facet joint injection, nerve root block, and discogram — the full range of image-guided lumbar interventional procedures performed in pain management and anaesthesiology practice. The lumbar spine L2-L5 is visualised under X-ray exactly as in clinical fluoroscopy. Soft tissue is urethane-based resin (specific gravity 1.06), synthetic bone is epoxy resin (specific gravity 1.31) — material properties stated, confirming X-ray attenuation characteristics relevant for fluoroscopy training.

Replacement blocks available separately: anesthesia block (41913-000-01), vertebroplasty block (41913-000-02). Optional LP and epidural blocks from the M43B Lumbar Puncture Simulator II family (11348-series) are also compatible. Recommended needles: 18G epidural, 21G spinal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What procedures can be trained on this phantom?
A: Vertebroplasty (using the vertebroplasty block) and fluoroscopy-guided epidural anaesthesia, facet joint injection, nerve root block, and discogram (using the anesthesia block) — all under real fluoroscopic imaging on L2-L5 anatomy.

Q: Are the training blocks replaceable?
A: Yes. The anesthesia block (41913-000-01) and vertebroplasty block (41913-000-02) are available as separate replacement parts.

Q: What is the unit weight and dimension?
A: 1.5 kg, W33 × D21 × H30 cm. The 15 kg weight on the product page is the packing weight, not the unit weight.
