A delivery dummy, primarily known in a medical context as a childbirth simulator or obstetric patient simulator, is a high-fidelity, life-sized, or partial-body mannequin used to train healthcare professionals in labor and delivery techniques. These simulators are designed to mimic the anatomy and physiological processes of childbirth, allowing for safe, repetitive, and realistic training on both normal and emergency scenarios.
Description of a Delivery Dummy
Anatomical Accuracy: They typically include a full-body or lower-body model of a female, with a realistic, palpable pelvic region, cervix that can dilate, and an abdominal cover for performing manual manipulations or C-sections.
Fetus Model: The simulator includes a newborn fetus with realistic weight and, often, flexible joints to simulate various birthing positions
