Birthing Simulator (Trainer) - Force Monitoring
The Birthing Simulator provides a platform for the teaching and acquisition of the practical skills required for the successful management of childbirth.
In addition to being an all-round birthing simulator for all levels of trainee, this product was specifically designed to enable doctors and nurses to learn and practise the manoeuvres required to manage shoulder dystocia, an unpredictable and largely unpreventable obstetric emergency.
The unique force monitoring baby incorporates a strain gauge linked to a computer for the measurement and recording of the force applied to the baby by the accoucheur during delivery.
In addition to training for deliveries complicated by shoulder dystocia, this high fidelity birthing simulator realistically simulates normal delivery, in semi-recumbent and 'all fours' positions, as well as vaginal breech and instrumental (forceps and ventouse) deliveries.
