The Sophie and her Mum Full Birth Obstetric Trainer is designed for the
simulation of cephallic birth, breech birth, and shoulder dystocia. It
is made from a highly realistic flesh-like material that creates an
extremely realistic tactile experience when simulating birth.
As
with all products, the models require generous lubrication
with water-based lubricants. Your distributor can supply or recommend
such a lubricant.
You will note that the vagina is a realistic size
but stretches to accommodate the fetus, with a very lifelike stretching
of the perineum.
When
using The Sophie and her Mum Full Birth Obstetric Trainer you
will usually have two practitioners operating the model. One will be
pushing the fetus through Sophie's Mum's birth canal, while the other
will be delivering Sophie.
The Sophie fetus has
a full metal skeleton that provides durability and allows her to move
realistically when practicing manoeuvers such as the nucal arm.
The Sophie and her Mum Full Birth Obstetric Trainer also has add-ons available that increase her usefulness.
A
placenta and post partum uterus can be purchased separately that allow
manual removal of the placenta to be simulated. In addition a
post-partum haemmorage uterus is available separately that allows the
user to simulate bleeding after birth. This is used with own
blood, which is non-toxic, and washes out of cloth.
The Sophie and her Mum Full
Birth Obstetric Trainer is made of a very soft, highly elastic, and very
durable material.
It is easy to clean, and following simple maintenance instructions ensures the models will last a long time.
They
are also easy to repair if they are accidentally damaged.
