Birthing Simulator PROMPT Flex - Standard (Light Skin Tone)
The PROMPT Flex Standard Birthing Simulator has a modular design, offering a truly versatile and flexible platform. This manikin allows for multiple scenarios in labor and delivery simulation training. An ideal training solution for all skills relating to both routine and non-routine deliveries, as well as being used for stand-alone bench training or with a simulated patient.
Standard model PROMPT Flex birthing simulators come with the Enhanced PROMPT Flex Standard Baby, representing a full-term infant. Used with the PROMPT Flex Birthing Mother, also included in this training set, you can simulate normal and difficult births.
The PROMPT Flex Baby’s improved shoulder and hip joints further enhance the realism in difficult birthing situations, such as shoulder dystocia and breech births.
All of the PROMPT Flex range can be purchased in light or dark skin tones - Limbs & Things offer this across its whole women's health range to help reflect the diversity of real patients and improve outcomes across all ethnicities.
Additional modules are available to extend training scenarios in the classroom:
- Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)
- Enhanced C-Section (Cesarean Section)
- Cervical Dilatation & Effacement (CDE)
- Compression Suture Uterus
- Cervical Cerclage
- Lower Legs

Objective: To compare the management of neonatal injury associated with shoulder dystocia before and after introduction of mandatory should dystocia simulation training.
Conclusion: The introduction of shoulder dystocia training for all maternity staff was associated with improved management and neonatal outcomes of births complicated by shoulder dystocia.

Paramedic
Obstetric Training
Is the Standard PROMPT birthing simulator suitable to demonstrate different birthing scenarios?
Yes, with this birthing trainer you can demonstrate and practice normal and breech birth, OVD (Operative Vaginal Delivery) with inclusion of forceps and vacuum devices, and shoulder dystocia. You can also add additional modules for procedures such as, cesarean section, cervical cerclage, and postpartum hemorrhage.
Can you perform common procedures with the Standard PROMPT Flex?
Yes, as well as a normal vaginal birth, the PROMPT can be used to perform extended breech births, instrumental births and shoulder dystocia.
Does this version of the birthing simulator allow for force monitoring?
The standard birthing mother doesn’t currently offer force monitoring. If you’re interested in this feature take a look at the Advanced PROMPT Flex Birthing Simulator which has wifi enabled force monitoring.
What does this childbirth simulator offer to medical students?
As part of a birth simulation, trainees will get hands-on experience with our realistic labor simulator. Simulated births offer the chance to develop their communication and teamwork skills, as well as practice fundamental skills required during labour.
Will using the PROMPT Flex Birthing Simulator during training improve neonatal outcomes?
A retrospective study undertaken by Southmead Hospital, UK, showed that after the introduction of simulation training there was improvement seen in the management and outcomes of births complicated by shoulder dystocia. See the skills tab for more information on the study: Improving Neonatal Outcome Through Practical Shoulder Dystocia Training.
