Life/form® Micro-Preemie Simulator Light

This 25-week ELBW (Extremely Low Birth Weight) neonate is the smallest and most realistic pre-term infant available. Delivery of an ELBW infant remains to be an extreme medical emergency, requiring specialized techniques that can be trained with this outstandingly ­realistic simulator.

The baby can be ventilated and will accept a functional ET tube, NG tube, umbilical catheter, and IV line, as well as a non-functional chest tube and stomas.

Delivered with: diaper, hat (colour may vary), umbilicus, omphalocele, neural tube defect, bilateral chest block, unilateral chest block, ­airway,  3 cc syringe, 25-gauge butterfly needle, lubricant, blood ­powder, and bulb and tube assembly.

Manikin can be used with Supraglottic airway devices for airway training.

• Various monitors, sensors, electrodes, etc., can be attached to the manikin wherever needed
• Ventilation
• Approximately 12% or 1 out of every 8 newborns arrive prematurely
• Delivery of an extremely low birth weight infant (≤1,000 g) remains to be an extreme medical emergency, requiring specialized techniques and equipment
• Simulates a 25-week neonate – the smallest, most realistically proportioned pre-term infant available
• Entirely flexible and offers training opportunities for a number of commonly performed procedures
• Extraordinary realism is achieved with the preemie’s pose and lack of muscle tone
• Invaluable for simulation training in the care and handling techniques for infants requiring multiple medical interventions at the limits of viability
• Perfect for NICU, emergency medical response teams, flight medics, mock code scenarios, nursing schools, medical schools, hospitals, and family education
• Simple to use for simulation, requires no specialized equipment, and is compact and highly mobile
