Overview
- Inserts to represent early labor cervixes effacement, dilatation and ripeness in line with Bishop’s scoring
- Numerous presenting part inserts including flexed, deflexed, brow, face, breech, caput and molding
- Realistic pelvic floor
- Stretchable perineum
- Soft, flexible birthing canal
Realism
- Positioning mechanism allows adjustment of station, dilation and tilt without removal from the simulator
- Suitable for use with Simulated/Standardized Patient
Versatility
- Dynamic positioning mechanism allows adjustment of dilation in active labor
- Markers allow tutor to read positioning in situ
- Presenting parts and cervix can be set up outside the model for demonstration, then placed inside for examination
- Skin washable with soap and water
- Latex free
Anatomy
