I have used a birth simulator from Model Med and it is very good for normal
birth, breech, shoulder dystocia. Very realistic and follows the normal
mechanisms. Limbs and Things also have a similar one called PROMPT birth
trainer and it looks even better than the Model Med as it has legs that can
be articulated so is useful for McRoberts. Cheers

Subject: Birth Simulator for training Midwives: Anybody experience?
Hello List Members
I'm a lecture in a Midwifery School. We are in the process of expanding
the Skillslab. By this occasion I found a description about a new Birth
simulator "Computer Interactive NOELLE". It is expensive (US Dollar
19,995.00.
My question:
 Does anybody have experience with this simulator?
 Is it worth paying so much monney for a simulator?
Thanks for any answers.
Regards Marianne Haueter
