- A three stage training system for teaching episiotomy, suturing techniques, and repair of episiotomy and second degree tears.
-
Stage 1: Episiotomy
- Realistic representation of tissue to represent a stretched perineum
- Baby Head provides a realistic look and feel providing landmarks and appropriate tactile response when inserting fingers to guard the baby's head
- Cost effective with two episiotomies per pad
- Attaches to the Perineal Repair Base
-
Stage 2: Perineal Repair Techniques
- The Episiotomy & Perineal Repair Pad alows suturing techniques to be practised on two planes
- Representation of the anus printed on pad for orientation
- Representation of the hymenal remnant printed on pad to assist in assessment of suturing techniques
- Soft skin with a similar drag and strength to human skin
- Comprises epidermis, dermal and subdermal layer (not muscle)
- Epidermis and dermis have a realistic retention of suture
-
Stage 3: Perineal Repair Procedures
- The Episiotomy & Perineal Repair Procedure Block represents the following realistic anatomy:
- perineal skin
- superficial muscle structure and relevant layer for suturing
- Cost effective - all layers can be sutured repeatedly
- Each Procedure Block presents 3 repair sites (left lateral is preincised, with both midline and right lateral uncut)
- Skin surface is washable using soap and water
- Clamps provided to secure Trainer to edge of bench top
