Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

High-quality, highly elastic silicone uterus with room for a full-term baby together with the placenta. It is closed with a cable tie and placed under the silicone pregnant abdomen, so that both abdomen and uterus can be incised to deliver the baby.

To simulate amniotic fluid without overloading the abdomen, it is recommended to place a water-filled condom in the area where the incision will be made. The placenta can be positioned anywhere except in the cutting area. After practice, the incision is repaired with a silicone repair kit.
