About the Simulators
The Life/form® Cervical Dilation/Effacement Simulators are designed to
facilitate the teaching, demonstration,
and practice of cervical examination
prior to birth. Every effort has been
made to provide exceptional realism
in these simulators so that the visual
and tactile sensations experienced
provide a positive transition to patient
procedures.
Internal Structure
The complete set of simulators consists of six separate pelvic blocks. The
external appearance of all six blocks
is identical with the variations being in
the internal structure. Internal texture,
tissue density, and correct anatomical size are all carefully represented
to provide the most realistic condition
possible.
The simulators depict six different
cervical conditions prior to birth. Each
pelvic block is clearly identified on the
bottom to indicate which condition
exists internally. The different conditions depicted are:
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
Stage 6
No dilation
No effacement
2 cm dilation
50% effacement
2 cm dilation
Full effacement
5 cm dilation
Full effacement
7 cm dilation
Full effacement
9 cm dilation
Full effacement
With predetermined measurements
of the internal cervical condition, all
guesswork or estimating on the part
of the student and instructor is eliminated. Everyone’s tactile understanding of 2, 5, 7, and 9 cm dilation and
effacement conditions is identical,
eliminating misconceptions and inaccurate patient condition evaluations.
General Instructions for Use
The use of gloves and liberal use of
lubricant teach and reinforce good
practices and are essential to protect
the physical properties of the simulators. The simulators must be treated
like patients. Rough usage and lack
of lubrication will generate tears in the
soft tissue walls.
Care of the Simulators
Store simulators in clean plastic bags.
The soft plastic used in the simulators
does attract dust. As in a real situation, the user should practice care
and good hygiene to assure the lasting life and clean appearance of the
simulators.
Solvents or other corrosive materials
will damage the simulators. Never
place simulators on newsprint or any
kind of printed paper or plastic. Avoid
contact with ball-point pens. These
materials will transfer an indelible stain.
Normal soil accumulated on the surface of the simulators can be removed
with mild soap and lukewarm water.
Use Nasco Cleaner (LF09919U) to
remove stubborn stains from simulators. Simply spray the soiled area and
wipe clean with a soft cloth or paper
towels.
Cautions
DO NOT use any petroleum-based
lubricant. Such materials will cause
rapid deterioration and permanent
damage. Use Life/form® Lubricant Kit
(LF00985U) or Ivory® liquid detergent
only.
