1 Obstetric Practice Doll
1
This modular practice doll is the universal tool for Midwifery education. It was developed in cooperation
with midwifery schools and provides training for all important skills. Exchangeable modules
allow practice of Leopold-gestures, breast care, vaginal examination of birth process, different
birth positions, birth simulation, Episiotomy and postpuerperal examination. The model includes a
heartbeat-simulation. Special material makes the doll feel like a real human and reacts realistically
during training. While developing the model special attention was drawn to details that are important
for practical training. The vulva for example is not just an opening, it stretches like a real vulva during
birth. As a full body manikin this model has the advantage against other simulators that it can be used
in a complete theatre, for example the birth procedure can be practiced in a real birth position.

The supplied modules are:
A Pregnancy module
This module contains an amniotic sac with foetus (36th to 40th week of pregnancy), a heartbeat
simulation and an abdominal wall with breasts. This module is suitable for practicing Leopold‘s
gestures, palpitation, and heartbeat monitoring (volume and rhythm can be modified by the teacher).
The amniotic sac can be inserted in different ways to simulate different positions of the foetus within
the womb. Additionally, the model can be used to teach breast care and breast feeding. This module
was redesigned and is now made of a new material which is even more realistic in touch and feel.
B Stages-of-Birth Module
The stages-of-birth module can be used to keep the Bishop Score. Three different stages of the
cervix and a foetal head can be inserted. The foetal head can be placed in various positions; the
cranial sutures and fontanels are palpable. All inserts can be rotated and modified. This module was
redesigned and is now made of special soft and flexible material which makes it even more realistic
and natural in touch and feel.
