Features

· Versatility:

 1)  Lumbar puncture, lumbar anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, combined spinal-epidural block, cerebrospinal fluid pressure measurement and intrathecal administration

 2)  Replaceable and durable puncture pad

· Anatomy: 

  Correct anatomical structures like skin, subcutaneous tissue, ligamentum flavum, dura mater etc.

· Key Features:

1)  Negative pressure exists in the arachnoid cavity and CSF automatically flows out with successful operation. No external pressure is needed.

2)  Flexible movement of the lumbar part, providing wider space between spinous processes.

3)  Clear landmarks like iliac crest, lumbar spinous process, easy for position identification.

4)  Wrong puncture angle can lead puncture needle to the vertebra.

5)  Realistic epidural and subarachnoid anesthesia operation available.

6)  A sense of breakthrough can be felt twice when doing the puncture, such as penetrating the ligamentum flavum etc.
