Features and what's included

What the equipment does and what comes in the box, as described by the manufacturer.

Features

GENERAL:

As Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) becomes more common, Amnio Abby® enables clinicians to practice the skills and dexterity required for invasive procedures in a safe, controlled manner.
Using our expertise in material innovation and anatomical accuracy, the simulator has been designed to give a highly realistic sonographic representation of a pregnant mother’s abdomen at 15 week gestation.
To enhance training scenarios the simulator includes two abdominal wall layers to simulate patients with increased Body Mass Index (BMI), variable amniotic liquor volume and separate placenta to ensure competency and help increase required skill levels.

FEATURES:

Easy to use, minimal maintenance
Highly realistic sonographic image
15 week size fetus with umbilical cord insertion
Amniotic sac which may be punctured several times to allow for a number of invasive procedures to be simulated before replacemen
Variable amniotic fluid volume allowing for training to be tailored for easy or difficult procedures
Separate placenta for posterior or anterior placement, to allow for transplacental scenarios as well as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) procedures
Two abdominal layers to allow for simulation of patients with a higher BMI.

Includes

1 Amnio Abby simulator
2 Abdominal layers
1 Fetal sac with 15 week-old sized fetus and umbilical cord
1 Separate placenta
1 Sac filling syringe and tubing
1 Base
1 Carrying case
