The THORAXIS Thoracic Neuraxial Simulator offers optimal training in common neuraxial blocks. This ultrasound-compatible model replicates anatomical structures of the thoracic region and provides a realistic experience of dural puncture akin to real patients. The simulator's authentic loss of resistance and fluid-filled intrathecal space enable accurate target site identification. THORAXIS serves as a foundational tool for thoracic neuraxial training.
Key Features:
- Fluid-filled tubing simulates spinal space, replicating dural click and CSF confirmation
- Epidural space enables simulation of the LOR technique
- Visible and palpable vertebral bodies aid interspace identification with spinous processes
- Ligamentum flavum offers a tactile feel resembling its tough and gritty texture
- Scapular angles serve as anatomical landmarks for superior and inferior scapula angles
Training Techniques:
- Mastering epidural LOR
- Practicing catheter placement (epidural and spinal catheter insertion)
- Enhancing ultrasound competency (ultrasound compatibility included)
