Aspirate synovial fluid from a joint cavity using the medial or lateral approach. Insertion sites include suprapatellar and parapatellar access. Ultrasound compatible Highly durable replaceable tissue for multiple uses Realistic tactile feedback A sensation of bony contact when the needle hits the patella A sensation of bony contact when the 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 is achieved Fluid can be left clear or be colored if desired Increase or decrease the size of effusion with up to 60 ccs of fluid Learn to ballot or milk the suprapatellar pouch Needle aspiration and injection techniques Palpating anatomic landmarks significant to the procedure Realistic tactile feedback throughout the procedure
