Sophie and Sophie's Mum Birth Simulator is designed for the simulation of:

• Cephalic Birth
• Breech Birth
• Shoulder Dystocia

It is made from a highly realistic flesh-like material that creates an extremely realistic tactile experience when simulating birth.  When used in conjunction with an SP, the Birth Simulator can enforce foundational clinical assessment and procedural skills and help to develop a learner’s interpersonal and communication skills, respectively.  Simulating birth scenarios can help healthcare professionals recognize and potentially mitigate adverse events for new mothers and newborns.

Our Laerdal Adult CPR manikin with QCPR Feedback meets the AHA Optimum Standard for Feedback.

Infants commonly require lumbar puncture as a diagnostic procedure used to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure, or to inject medications intrathecally. The Pediatric Lumbar Puncture Simulator represents a 10-12 month old infant placed in a left lateral decubitus position with the neck and knees flexed, approximating the necessary fetal position. The embedded iliac crest offers exceptional realism, while the removable spine, spinal canal and skin pad make training simple and hasslefree. Lumbar puncture may be performed in the L3-L4, L4-L5, or L5-S1 spaces. The correct site can be located by palpating the iliac crest and spine. A small give" will be felt as the spinal needle is advanced slowly into the proper space. Fluid will flow when the needle is in proper position. Students will appreciate the opportunity to practice this delicate but commonly performed procedure on a simulator that is both appealing and anatomically accurate.
