What are the latest enhancements to SimMom?

Ultrasound Solution for SimMom
An optional Ultrasound Solution has been embedded to gravid and flat abdomen skins to help improve point-of-care diagnostics training, and visually determine the health of the fetus and mother, during the progression of birth.

Automatic Delivery Module
An optional Automatic Delivery Module has been added to the existing birthing and post-partum module range.

Wireless Connectivity
An instructor can freely walk around the room whilst they assess and control a training session using a wireless connection from their operator PC and the SimMom Link Box with the LLEAP software upgrade.

Non-Gravid Abdominal Skin
SimMom can now be fitted with a non-gravid abdominal skin to expand the scope of your simulation training. Early stage pregnancy cases can now be simulated as well as expanding the use of SimMom into a non-pregnant female patient simulator

SimMom Automatic Delivery

Introduction to the Automatic Delivery Module and a playlist of birthing positions.

Optional Automatic Delivery Module can be used with new and exisiting SimMom simulators to run automatic and manual birthing scenarios in training.

Adds standardisation to every training session allowing instructors to concentrate on evaluating students.

Video demonstrations of different birthing positions:

What scenarios can you run with SimMom?

Customisable scenarios and real-time instructor controls allow scenarios to be adapted and developed to your unique learning objectives.

Pre-programmed scenarios developed specifically for SimMom in conjunction with PROMPT and the NLN include normal and operative vaginal deliveries of infants, vaginal delivery with shoulder dystocia encounters and breech infants.

For use with the Automatic Delivery Module, HealthCare Simulation in South Carolina and Dr. Carol Simmons, have developed a range of scenarios:

Find a wide range of scenarios at SimStore.

Manage your scenarios and incorporate video and audio with SimCenter.

Please note: In SimStore you can filter scenarios between SimMom (for manual birthing) and SimMom ADM (for Automatic birthing).

SimMom has been developed in partnership by Laerdal and Limbs & Things

By combining specialised knowledge gained from the successful healthcare simulation products Prompt Birthing Simulator and ALS Simulator, we believe SimMom is the best the market has to offer.

Laerdal has given SimMom an easy-to-use, full-body simulation system whilst Limbs & Things brings a level of realism, both in terms of anatomy and obstetric experience, to the product.

Realistic Delivery Modules

Cervix: The durable silicone cervix can dilate from 4 cm to 10 cm. The cervix module is used with the Birthing Baby for deliveries.

Amniotic bag: The Birthing Baby can be used in the amniotic bag to extend the level of realism during delivery and to simulate the rupturing of the membranes during delivery.

Post-Partum Modules

Post-Partum Hemorrhage: Atonic uterus can be recognised and managed. Pressurised fluid reservoirs allow for simulated blood and urine to be used during a PPH simulation. A placenta with retained lobe can also be placed inside the uterus and manually removed.

Uterine Inversion: Uterus inverts when traction is applied to the umbilical cord. This module allows for recognition of inversion as well as manual replacement.
