A Complete Simulation Solution
Providing full scale interactive, dynamic and engaging simulation, SimMom is a complete solution that also includes accessories, technical services, educational services and courseware. Pre-programmed scenarios will provide standardized training while customizable scenarios and real-time instructor controls allow for scenario adaptation to accommodate individual student or team needs.

Interactive, Dynamic and Engaging
Design elements such as video, audio, scenarios and recognizable environments enable learning to be transferred to the bedside when caring for mother and child in complex birthing scenarios.

Easy to Use
Simple operation allows users to build basic to advanced level scenarios appropriate for required learning objectives. The familiar VitalSim Platform, manual delivery system and computer control make the simulator simple to use.

Realistic
SimMom provides realistic practice of multiple delivery positions and maneuvers, teamwork, leadership and communication skills in a risk-free environment. Uterus modules add further realism and extend the application of the simulator.

Multi-Purpose
SimMom can be used as a hybrid trainer or as a full body simulator. In addition, it can be used for non obstetric training as well as a female pregnant simulator.

Partnership
SimMom has been developed by Limbs & Things and Laerdal in partnership combining the best that each company has to offer in healthcare simulation products. Built upon the success of the two leading products in the market, the Prompt Birthing Simulator and the ALS Simulator, SimMom provides customers with the best of two worlds. The level of realism, both in terms of anatomy and obstetric experience provided by Limbs & Things, and the easy to use full-body simulation system provided by Laerdal, presents a total solution for simulation training in an obstetric environment. SimMom can be used as a hybrid trainer or as a full-body simulator. In addition, it can be used for non obstetric training as well as a female pregnancy simulator.

Birthing Baby

Realistically modeled head with all head landmarks present
(fontanelles and sutures)
Head designed and tested so it can be used for forceps deliveries
(rotational and “normal”), and suction delivery (Kiwi and Ventouse)
Head can be easily manipulated and flexes naturally as
it is pushed through the birth canal
Mouth for suction and Smellie-Veit (if required)
Body “streamlined” to allow it to be easily pushed through birth canal
Bony prominences of the hips to support Lovset`s maneuvers
Realistically postioned landmarks - scapulae and clavicles
Arms and legs fully movable to allow all maneuvers required during
deliveries - particularly breech and shoulder dystocia
Umbilicus and placenta (normal and retained)
Fetal heart rate; normal, bradycardia and tachycardia (via software)

SimCenter offers easy access to validated content from worldwide simulation experts–so you can take advantage of their experience and get the most from every learning opportunity. SimMom Advanced comes with a SimCenter Welcome Kit which includes a voucher to redeem free relevant scenarios on SimStore.

Solutions for Hospitals

Realistic positions and maneuvers

Pelvic Module can easely be changed by unscrewing and removing the pelvic ring clamp. Urethral tube allows bladder to be catheterized or instilled for cord prolapse The birthing baby engaged into simple delivery cervix module

Instrumental delivery using Kiwi/Ventouse suction cup or forceps. The trainer is able to feel the force, maneuvers and techniques that are used by the deliverer, and can give constructive feedback in the debriefing

When shoulder dystocia is diagnosed, the instructor can simulate “turtle neck” sign, press the shoulder up against the mother’s pelvis to add realism and complexity to the scenario

Airway features: Managing difficult airway during complex delivery Obstructed airway Tongue edema Right lung, left lung and both lung blockage Head tilt/Chin lift Jaw thrust Suctioning techniques can be practiced Bag-Valve-Mask ventilation Combitube, LMA and other airway placement Endotracheal intubation (ET) Retrograde intubation Digital intubation Surgical cricothyrotomy and needle cricothyrotomy Sellick maneuver Airway resistance and compliance	Breathing features: Simulated spontaneous breathing Variable respiratory rates Bilateral and unilateral chest rise and fall Normal and abnormal breath sounds; 4 anterior auscultation sites; bilateral midaxillary site Can be connected to ventilators Vascular access Preported IV access (both arms) Subcutaneous and intramuscular injection sites (thigh)
Cardiac features: Extensive ECG library Heart sounds synchronized with ECG ECG rhythm monitoring 12 lead ECG display Defibrillation and cardioversion Pacing	Circulation features: BP measured manually by auscultation of Korotkoff sounds Bilateral carotid and brachial pulse, radial (right side only) pulses synchronized with ECG Pulse strength variable with BP Pulse palpation is detected and logged
Chest compressions: CPR compressions generate palpable pulses, blood pressure wave form, and ECG artifacts Detection and logging of a series of compression	Other features: Bowel sounds or fetal heart rate –microphone Patient voice: Pre recorded sounds Custom sounds Instructor can simulate patient’s voice wirelessly
