Skill Development:

Use medial and lateral approaches
Use suprapatellar and parapatellar insertion sites
Learn to milk the suprapatellar pouch
Palpating anatomic landmarks significant to the procedure

Features and Benefits:

Ultrasound compatible tissue is durable and refillable - it can be used repeatedly and is also easily replaced
Left leg model with a base visually showing the tibia and fibula (smaller) bones and a replaceable tissue that can be refilled
Anatomy includes: patella, patella ligament, tibia, fibula, femur, synovial sac or membrane, and synovial fluid (which can be left clear, or can be colored red or yellow if desired)
Medial and lateral approaches
Both suprapatellar and parapatellar insertion sites
Ability to milk the suprapatellar pouch
Ability to increase or decrease size of effusion with up to 60 cc of fluid
Palpable anatomy and realistic needle response
Realistic tactile feedback includes:
- sensation of bony contact if needle hits the patella
- sensation of bony contact if needle hits the femur
- inability to aspirate the syringe while the needle tip is in the soft tissue superficial to the joint capsule
- easy aspiration of joint fluid into the syringe once entry has been achieved
