- Replaceable spinal cord insert with skin layer, subcutaneous layer, connective tissue, and lumbar vertebrae
- Anatomic features include: iliac crests, lumbar vertebrae L2 - L5, ligamentum flavum, epidural space, and dura
- Needle insertion possible between vertebrae
- Lifelike needle resistance, including pops when needle traverses ligamentum flavum and dura
- Self-healing skin that allows 15 uses with an 18 gauge needle and 25 uses with a 22 gauge needle before replacement is necessary
- Simple to fill simulated CSF and set fluid pressure, thereby allowing students to collect CSF and measure CSF opening pressure
- Pressure system with simple push-button operation to increase or decrease pressure                                
- LED displays pressure set-point ranging from low, medium to high pressure
- Practice procedure in the left lateral decubitus or sitting position
- Trainer can be used to simulate aseptic technique and local anesthetic at puncture site
