Shoulder Injection Trainer - Palpation Guided (Dark Skin Tone)
The Limbs & Things Palpation Guided Shoulder Injection Trainer range was designed in collaboration with clinicians to provide the highest standard for training.
Palpation Guided injections are still widely performed by medical professionals across disciplines. True to life, repeatable training helps develop reliable and accurate practices.
The latest shoulder model is made with enhanced materials that have extended the life of the trainer threefold. This increased durability means lower ongoing running costs.
Training can be given on the following injection sites on the shoulder:
- Acromioclavicular joint
- Glenohumeral joint
- Bicipital groove
- Subacromial space
This palpation guided shoulder injection trainer comes with an Android Tablet and a preinstalled app for use during training. The latest model is now completely wireless, utilising Bluetooth to communicate with the app for feedback. Once the shoulder is connected to the application users can access:
- Injection Practice Mode, which includes: a list of the injection sites and an anatomy view that light up when the site is injected
- Web based User Guide
- Interactive Model Anatomy
- Web based guide to Injection Techniques
- Web based Ultrasound Gallery
With the standardised torso design, palpation guided trainers are easily converted to Ultrasound models with an Upgrade Kit.

What type of shoulder injections can be performed on this shoulder simulator?
There are four main types of shoulder injections that can be taught with the palpation guided shoulder simulator:
- Glenohumeral joint injection, from both a posterior and anterior approach, used for pain relief in treating arthritis and frozen shoulder
- Subacromial space injection, used for pain relief of subacromial impingement, rotator cuff impingement or tendinosis
- Acromioclavicular joint injection, used for pain relief of osteolysis of the distal clavicle and osteoarthritis of the joint
- Bicipital groove injection, used for pain relief of biceps tendonitis
Can I use this model for self-directed learning?
Yes, the Shoulder Trainer has an accompanying app which allows trainees to view expert guidance on best practise for joint injections. Instant feedback from the model will give positive reinforcement once the correct site is hit.
