MamaBirthie is a cost-effective way of instructing valuable knowledge in all stages of labor. Practice maneuvers and skills including abdominal and vaginal examinations, normal birth, vacuum assisted delivery, shoulder dystocia and breech. Educate learners to identify and manage potential adverse events, and help ensuring safe patient care.
Use MamaBirthie as a tabletop model for demonstrations, or as a wearable simulation trainer during in-situ team simulations. The quick and easy set-up makes it ideal for repeated practice, both independently or peer-to-peer.

BabyBirthie
Tactile feedback
Palpate the baby’s position using anatomical landmarks, and gain additional tactile feedback from palpable fontanels.
Assisted delivery
The realistic fetal head allows for realistic attachment of vacuum for vaginal assisted delivery and creates a chignon effect.
Management of malpresentations
Utilize the bony structure of BabyBirthie to identify the important landmarks in breech and shoulder presentations.
Educational methods
Self-directed learning
Give learners the best chance of success, letting them practice maneuvers more often.
Peer-to-peer training
Use peer-to-peer sessions to create engagement for respectful care, effective communication and risk managing.
