SMöLTAP revolutionizes the infant spinal tap experience and can improve first attempt success rates.
The time consuming and challenging procedure of infant lumbar taps require expert staff to physically position and hold the infant in order to perform the procedure Even under ideal conditions, 38% or higher, of first attempts are unsuccessful. Unsuccessful spinal taps can be a contributing factor to hospitalization due to diagnostic ambiguity.
SMöLTAP changes that.
Increased procedure consistency, repeatability, and efficiency.
When compared to the croissant position, SMöLTAP places the infant into a swaddled position for patient comfort while rounding the spine for access to the L3/L4 spinal segment.
The infant is held by disposable straps designed to fail when exceeding 6 PSI, allowing the perfect amount of pressure for patient comfort.
Free members of your team to focus on the procedure, not the holding of the infant.
