Infant Lumbar Puncture Model

The Vitaliya Infant Lumbar Puncture Model is designed to provide hands-on training for pediatric lumbar puncture procedures. The model features accurate anatomical landmarks, including clearly defined spinous processes and posterior superior iliac spine, helping trainees correctly identify puncture locations.

The puncture site is positioned at the L3–L4 lumbar intervertebral space, allowing students to practice proper needle insertion techniques. During training, users experience a realistic tactile resistance and a distinct “pop” sensation when the needle reaches the correct position. Simulated cerebrospinal fluid flow confirms successful puncture placement.

The model can simulate the sitting position used for infant lumbar puncture procedures, providing realistic training conditions for pediatric clinical practice.

This training model is widely used in medical colleges, nursing institutes, pediatric training programs, and healthcare simulation laboratories to help students develop confidence and accuracy in performing infant spinal puncture procedures.
