Anatomy Models Home > Cervical Dilitation Simulator

The Life/form® Cervical Dilatation/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. The complete simulator set consists of six separate 5" x 5" x 5" 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 (no dilatation, no effacement), Stage 2 (2 cm dilatation, 50% effacement), Stage 3 (2 cm dilatation, full effacement), Stage 4 (5 cm dilatation, full effacement), Stage 5 (7 cm dilatation, full effacement), and Stage 6 (9 cm dilatation, full effacement).
With predetermined measurements of the internal cervical condition, all guesswork or estimating on the part of the student and instructor is eliminated. Almost everyone’s tactile understanding of 2 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm, and 9 cm dilatation and effacement conditions is identical, eliminating misconceptions and inaccurate patient condition evaluations.
Life/form® Cervical Dilatation/Effacement Simulators include six separate pelvic blocks, teaching guide, and hard carrying case. Three-year warranty. Size: 21" x 14" x 7".
