World’s first infant hip sonography phantom
Best tool to teach Graf’s method
This phantom expands training opportunities for paediatricians, radiologists and orthopaedists.
Before working on real infants, trainees can repetitively practice on this phantom to become familiar with the examination procedures and key points.
Using real ultrasound devices, trainees can learn key ultrasound landmarks to identify standard plane for Graf’s classification.
This is a foundation to acquire skills in handling and positioning of the baby as well as correct positioning of the transducer.
Features:
- The market’s only training phantom for hip sonography on a full body manikin of 6-week-old infant
- Bilateral hips for examination
- Facilitates anatomical understanding
Training Skills & Applications:
- Setting and preparation for hip sonography
- Changing the position of the infant
- Communication and interaction with infant’s guardian
- Correct use and positioning of the transducer
- Recognition of landmarks for hip sonography
- Visualization of standard, anterior and posterior planes
- Interpretation and morphological classification of the sonogram
Key Landmarks:
- chondro-osseous junction
- femoral head
- synovial membrane
- joint capsule
- acetabular labrum
- cartilaginous portion of the acetabular roof
- bony promontory of the superior bony acetabular rim
