Description
The Ultrasound Epidural & Lumbar Puncture trainer is designed to aid training in real-time ultrasound guided procedures. The Limbs & Things ecolucent material has been thoroughly tested to ensure its acoustic properties offer an experience as close to human tissue as possible*. and is compatible with most commercial ultrasound machines. Augmented Reality is now part of the Lumbar Puncture range.

- NEW: Augmented Reality capabilities with the ART Mat
- The new ART Mats combine real world MRI and CT scan data, with the skills of talented medical artists and digital creators, to bring the internal anatomy of our trainers to life
- Within the Limbs & Things ART app’s digital environment, you can move around your task trainer and view various overlays, including: the musculature, organs and vessels, and skeletal structure
- The app’s interface allows you to move seamlessly between the layers, as well as view their cross sections
- Students are also able to view digital procedures in the AR environment to see how the procedure is done, and its impact on the patient’s anatomy
- Durable lumbar tissue insert and duras are longer lasting, increasing life span and keeping on going costs down
- Simulator gives a distinctive “pop” feeling when puncturing the dura during an ultrasound guided lumbar puncture procedure
- Needle insertion possible between vertebrae
- Ability to feel when the dura is punctured during lumbar puncture
- Realistic rate of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be simulated
- All epidural and lumbar puncture inserts are compatible with the common base
- Skin and duras can be rotated to extend their life span and ensure cost effective training
- The stand provided allows for training in left lateral and sitting positions

Why Choose the Ultrasound Epidural & Lumbar Puncture Model – Light for Your Simulation Lab in India?
The Ultrasound Epidural & Lumbar Puncture Model – Light (Item No. ALT61002) by Limbs & Things, distributed by Adam Rouilly Limited, UK is a comprehensive real-time ultrasound-guided epidural and lumbar puncture training model — the most advanced combined epidural/LP simulator in the catalogue, adding ultrasound guidance, Augmented Reality (AR), and a dual-position stand to the procedural skill set that conventional epidural and LP simulators train. For anaesthesiology training programmes, pain management training, obstetric anaesthesia courses, neurology residency programmes, and NMC-mandated simulation labs in India that need to train ultrasound-guided needle placement alongside traditional landmark-based technique, this model is the complete platform for the full modern epidural and LP training curriculum.
The model’s ecolucent Limbs & Things material has been rigorously tested for acoustic fidelity — wave speed 1600 m/s and attenuation coefficient of 2 MHz, closely matching the human tissue range of 1540–1620 m/s and 0.5–5 MHz — and is compatible with most commercial ultrasound machines available in India. Palpable anatomy includes iliac crests, sacrum, and lumbar vertebrae between L2 and L5 with spinous processes; spinous processes and facet joints are visible under ultrasound, enabling pre-puncture ultrasound mark-up on the injection site exactly as in clinical practice. The multi-purpose stand supports training in both sitting and left lateral positions. For epidural training, the model covers loss-of-resistance technique, paramedian approach, threading an epidural catheter, and administering fluids. For lumbar puncture, the model gives a distinctive “pop” when the dura is punctured, enables realistic CSF flow simulation, and includes both Standard and Advanced Dura inserts for progression from basic to complex scenarios. The Augmented Reality ART Mat — included in the set — uses real MRI and CT scan data to overlay the internal anatomy of the trainer digitally, allowing trainees to view musculature, organs, vessels, and skeletal structure through the Limbs & Things ART app and to watch digital procedure demonstrations in AR before performing the physical procedure.
Includes: Torso with Torso Skin, Epidural & Lumbar Puncture Stand, Water Reservoir (ALT61022), Epidural & Lumbar Puncture Ultrasound Insert Light (ALT61014), Standard Dura pack of 2 (ALT61017), Advanced Dura pack of 4 (ALT61018), Iliac Crest Insert (ALT61019), Insert Cartridge (ALT61020), Marker Pen, ART Mat for Lumbar Puncture (ALT60130). Not included: spinal needles, manometer, epidural kit, large curvilinear probe, ultrasound gel.

Q: Does this model require a specific ultrasound machine?
A: No — the ecolucent material is compatible with most commercial ultrasound machines. Ultrasound gel and a large curvilinear probe are required but not included.
Q: What does the Augmented Reality ART Mat add?
A: Real MRI/CT-based digital overlays of musculature, organs, vessels, and skeletal structure through the Limbs & Things ART app — trainees can view digital procedure demonstrations in AR before performing the physical procedure.
Q: Can both sitting and left lateral patient positions be trained?
A: Yes. The included multi-purpose stand allows practice in both sitting and left lateral positions on the same model.
