This versatile model provides a lifelike simulation for performance of vaginal examinations, assessing dilation, palpating fetal fontanels and suture lines, and assessing position of the vertex. This three-dimensional model includes the fetal head, lower uterine segment, and cervix made from lifelike materials. The fetal model is encased in a durable plastic case which allows for easy visualization of parts. The fetal head can also be removed to practice fetal spiral electrode application while visualizing the procedure. All parts are easily removed for washing. A practice/resource guide is included with directions for use. Comes with carrying case.
The Nasco Healthcare Fetal Monitoring and Labor Progress Model (SB23508) is a high-fidelity, three-dimensional training aid designed to replicate key aspects of labor assessment and fetal monitoring in OB/GYN and midwifery education. Featuring life-like materials, it enables realistic practice of vaginal examinations and labor progress checks.
Key Features:
-
Realistic anatomy simulation: Includes fetal head, lower uterine segment, and cervix to practice assessing dilation, effacement, and fetal head position.
-
Fontanel & suture palpation: Helps trainees distinguish anterior/posterior fontanels and sutures through touch.
-
Vertex positioning: Accurately represents fetal head orientation within the birth canal.
-
Spiral electrode demo-ready: Removable fetal head allows hands-on practice of electrode placement under direct view.
-
Durable & cleanable: Encased in clear plastic; all parts are removable for cleaning.
-
Portable design: Includes a carrying case and a practice/resource guide.
Ideal Use Cases:
-
Hands-on training for OB/GYN and midwifery students
-
Simulated performance of vaginal exams, cervical dilation checks, fetal head position assessment
-
Practice of spiral electrode placement in a controlled environment
