The 3D4MED Stellate Ganglion Block Procedure Simulator is a reusable training phantom designed for hands-on practice of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block procedures. It provides a realistic and controlled environment in which trainees and clinicians can practise anatomical orientation, ultrasound-guided needle placement, and procedural workflow without any risk to patients. The simulator reproduces the main anatomical structures involved in the procedure, allowing users to improve their understanding of cervical anatomy, refine their technical skills, and gain confidence before performing the procedure in a clinical setting.
• Realistic Cervical Anatomy: Replicates the key anatomical structures involved in stellate
ganglion block procedures, including cervical spine elements, vascular structures, trachea, thyroid
region, and superficial soft tissues.
• Ultrasound-Guided Training: Designed to support ultrasound-guided anatomical identification
and needle advancement toward the target area.
• Reusable Design: Features durable anatomical components and replaceable soft-tissue
elements, enabling repeated training sessions.
• Modular Assembly: The simulator can be assembled intuitively and prepared rapidly for
successive training sessions.
Proven Durability and Realism
The simulator has been designed for repeated use in high-demand training environments, withstanding over 150 needle punctures while maintaining anatomical realism and procedural reliability.
Its replaceable and consumable components allow rapid maintenance and cost-effective reuse without replacing the entire unit.
What is Included
- Rigid Base: A stable support platform equipped with predefined slots and holes for accurate positioning and secure assembly of the anatomical components.
- Cervical Spine and Vertebral Arteries Block: A dedicated anatomical block reproducing the cervical spine region and vertebral arteries, supporting realistic ultrasound-guided orientation.
- Trachea-Thyroid Block: A separate anatomical component reproducing the trachea and thyroid region, helping trainees recognize key anterior neck structures during the procedure.
- Neck Arteries and Veins: Dedicated vascular components designed to reproduce the main vascular landmarks relevant to ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block.
- Collarbones: Anatomical components included to improve the realism of the cervical and upper thoracic region.
- Skin-Like Mould: A two-part mould designed for casting an agar-based mixture to simulate superficial soft tissues and allow repeated procedural training.
How to Use
The modular design allows users to prepare the simulator for successive training sessions, making it suitable for both individual practice and high-volume educational courses focused on ultrasound- guided interventional procedures.
he kit is accompanied by detailed instructions guiding users through each stage of the setup process, from assembling all components and preparing the agar-based mixture used to mimic the soft-tissue layer, through to final disassembly and cleaning after use.
