Skills and Features

Skills

Vaginal examination to assess:

  • Position of the cervix
  • Foetal presenting part
  • Moulding and caput formation
  • Presence/absence of membrane

Calculation of Bishop’s Score (also known as Pelvic Score):

5 measurements of the pelvic examination:

  • Centimetres dilated
  • Effacement
  • Foetal station
  • Consistency
  • Position

Other score modifiers:

  • Pre-eclampsia
  • Each previous vaginal delivery
  • Postdate pregnancy
  • Nulliparity
  • Premature preterm rupture of membranes

 

Features

  • Trainees are able to practise the skills required to assess both normal and complicated births
  • Palpable ischial spines allowing for accurate assessment of station
  • Model accommodates a variety of training methods
  • Rupturable membrane, with fluid, on flexed or deflexed head
  • Dynamic Rig allows adjustment of dilation enabling scenario based, and communication skills, training
  • Realistic representation of cervices, including anterior lip
  • Offers a large variety of presentations, including: stations, relative positions, and degrees of rotation
  • Easy removal and replacement of presenting parts and cervices when using the Static Rig
  • Presenting parts and cervix can be set up externally to the model for demonstration
  • The PROMPT Flex range is suitable for use with a simulated patient
Additional Information

Anatomy

Cervices:

  • 0cm dilation, unripe/firm, no effacement
  • 1cm dilation, unripe, 40% effacement
  • 2cm dilation, medium ripeness/firmness, 50% effacement
  • 3cm dilation, ripe/soft, 65% effacement
  • 4cm dilation, ripe/soft, 70% effacement
  • 4cm dilation, ripe/soft, 100% effacement
  • Anterior lip, approximately 10cm dilation
  • Dynamic cervix for use with dynamic rig, allows for cervical dilation from 4cm to 10cm, ripe/soft, 100% effacement

Presenting parts:

  • Flexed head
  • Deflexed head
  • Face presentation
  • Brow presentation
  • Breech presentation

Moulding and caput formation:

  • Flexed or deflexed head
  • Parietal bones, one fixed and two moveable to simulate variation of moulding
  • 3 sizes of caput

Cleaning

  • Remove excess lubricant from the component surfaces
  • Clean components with a soft damp cloth, warm water and mild detergent
  • Allow to dry before storing trainer

 

Safety

  • This product is latex free
  • Using alternative lubricants to that recommended, may weaken or damage components of the cervical dilation model
  • Wear gloves while handling the simulator and during procedures, sharp surfaces (fingernails and jewellery) can lead to silicone damage
  • To prolong the life of caputs, keep covered in the supplied plastic tray when not in use
