Bonnie Bone Marrow Biopsy Skills Trainer

Skills

• The Bonnie Bone Marrow Biopsy Skills Trainer™ is a first-of-its-kind simulator, designed with clinical input to replicate, teach and reinforce the skills needed to perform a posterior iliac crest bone marrow biopsy procedure
• The trainer provides a realistic feel when puncturing the skin surface, while entering the iliac crest bone and during the extraction of simulated bone marrow samples

Features

• The Bonnie trainer has life-size scale and anatomy modelled from an average size female pelvis and lower spine
• The outer shell provides a soft, tissue-like feel to allow for the palpation of underlying bony landmarks of the spinous process and anterior and posterior iliac crests to facilitate proper biopsy needle placement
• To simulate treating patients in lateral decubitus (side lying) positions the Bonnie trainer can be set-up with the included tilt stand or positioned on a table surface to accommodate the prone position
• The right and left iliac crest bones are designed to be replaceable and incorporate simulated bone marrow that can be extracted during simulated biopsy procedures to confirm proper technique
• The innovative design also includes a replaceable puncture site skin insert to allow for multiple needle punctures to be performed
