Train on thoracic epidural and lumbar puncture procedures with true-to-life anatomy and ultrasound imaging realism
Dual-region training: lumbar puncture and thoracic epidural insertion
Realistic thoracic spine anatomy with variable angulation and spacing
Simulex™ tissue provides authentic feel and ultrasound fidelity
Supports both blind and ultrasound-guided techniques
Integrates lumbar and thoracic spine anatomy for comprehensive epidural and puncture training across multiple vertebral levels.
Replicates thoracic vertebral angulation and spacing to simulate advanced procedural difficulty and improve needle alignment skills.
Simulex™ tissue provides consistent imaging clarity for ultrasound-guided epidural placement using standard linear or curved probes.
Includes refillable CSF channels for fluid return and pressure adjustment, reinforcing correct depth and placement.
Proprietary tissue allows over 1,000 punctures without image degradation, maximizing training efficiency and value.
Can be used in upright or lateral decubitus positions to simulate real-world procedural environments.

Usage Requirements: Use only with Blue Phantom ultrasound refill fluid (one bottle included) and sharp, unbent 18–21 gauge needles for optimal performance and warranty coverage.
The Blue Phantom® Lumbar Puncture and Thoracic Epidural Ultrasound Training Model offers advanced training for two of the most critical spinal access procedures. Featuring anatomically accurate lumbar and thoracic spine sections, this model enables learners to perform both lumbar puncture and thoracic epidural placement with lifelike tissue response and image quality.
The thoracic component replicates the steeper angulation and narrower interspinous spaces found in real anatomy, challenging learners to refine their needle trajectory and ultrasound probe alignment. Simulex™ tissue mimics the acoustic and tactile properties of human tissue, while cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flow and pressure simulation provide immediate visual and tactile feedback.
This dual-region trainer supports a full range of spinal skills in anesthesiology, critical care, and pain management, ensuring clinicians can safely transition from basic to advanced procedural practice.
