Birthing Simulator PROMPT Flex - Standard (Dark Skin Tone)
The Birthing Simulator - PROMPT Flex Standard allows for the creation of multiple simulated labor training scenarios, and is an ideal training solution for all skills relating to both routine and emergency deliveries. The birthing simulator may be used for hybrid simulation as well as stand-alone bench top training.
Included within this birthing manikin package is the Enhanced PROMPT Flex Standard Baby. The baby represents a full-term infant, which works with the PROMPT Flex Birthing Mother to simulate normal and difficult birthing scenarios. Improved shoulder and hip joints further enhance the realism in difficult birthing situations such as deeply impacted head and shoulder dystocia.
Built with versatility and realism in mind, the PROMPT Flex birthing simulator features a realistic pelvic floor, articulating thighs for the McRoberts procedure, a stretchable perineum, flexible birthing canal, and optional lower legs to simulate birthing in an all fours position. PROMPT flex product care is simple, and is Latex free.
For extended use, additional modules include:
- Post-Partum Hemorrhage
- Cesarean-section
- Cervical Dilatation & Effacement
- Compression Suture Uterus
- Cervical Cerclage
- Lower Legs

- Handle on the base of the mannikin for operator use during labor simulation
- Can be used with additional modules to extend training simulations
Baby
- Baby has a bend at the thoraco-lumbar region
- Improved articulation of the joints offers enhanced realism for difficult birthing scenarios, such as shoulder dystocia
Cleaning
- Clean off excess lubricant from all mother and baby surfaces
- Wipe clean the product with a damp soft cloth, warm water and mild detergent
- Allow the birthing trainer and its components to dry before storing
Safety
- This product is latex free
- A poorly lubricated baby or placenta may damage the birth canal or cervix when pushed through during a procedure
- We recommend lubricating the cervix, birth canal and baby before each birth
- We recommend using Limbs & Things lubricant, non-recommended fluid products may weaken or damage the trainer
- Wear gloves at all times, and remove all sharp objects. Sharp surfaces (such as fingernails and rings) can lead to silicone damage
Simulated Patient
- The PROMPT Flex range offers multiple scenarios that can include patient simulation training

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.
