Erler Zimmer Newborn hip sonography exercise model

Erler Zimmer newborn hip ultrasound training model in detail

This model is the world's first training phantom with an ultrasound anatomy of a 6-week-old infant. It significantly expands the training options for paediatricians, radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons. Before working on a real infant, you can practice repeatedly on this phantom and familiarise yourself with the examination procedures and the most important points. By using real ultrasound equipment, you will learn to identify important landmarks and determine the measurement angles according to Graf. This is the basis for learning skills related to handling and positioning the baby and correct placement of the ultrasound probe. The life-size full-body manikin has movable arms so that you can practise positioning and changing the position of the baby in interaction with the carer.

Practise the following skills:

• Setting up and preparing for a hip ultrasound
• Changing the position of the infant
• Communicating and interacting with the infant's caregiver
• Correctly positioning and using the ultrasound probe
• Identifying the ultrasoundlandmarks
• Visualisation of the different planes
• Interpretation and morphological classification of the sonogram

Properties/anatomy:

• World's only training model for hip sonography on the whole body of a 6-week-old infant
• Both sides of the hips allow finding the important landmarks, including cartilage-bone boundary, femoral head, synovial fold, joint capsule, hip joint lip, bony part of the acetabular roof, bony acetabular rim, lower rim of the ilium, correct plane, hip joint lip
• Enables anatomical understanding
• The full-body manikin with movable arms enables practising positioning and changing the position of the infant.
