To simulate uterus contraction
While moving the position of your hand forwards
and below the navel, gradually squeeze reservoir A
to simulate a uterus contracting and getting harder.
Squeezing reservoir A fully, while pressing your
hand forwards below the navel will simulate a fully
contracted uterus (illustration on the right).
Tip:
- Before simulation of any uterus condition: Ensure that the uterus is unhooked.
- Hide your hand behind the Uterus Air Reservoir B by angling your hand as showed in the illustrations.
The learner should not feel your hand.
- When simulating a soft uterus: Learners may start to palpate for the soft uterus from the pubic bone
and upwards. With the uterus off the hook; you can move the soft uterus to a lower position and move
it upwards, following the palpation from the learners into the appropriate position.
7 Urine Catheterization
Let the learner insert the urine catheter through the urethra until the bladder is empty.
8 Cervix Landmark
To create the cervix landmark, tighten the Cervix Ribbon to the desired level (see page 9).
9 Simulation of Baby Cries
Gently press the Squeaker Unit, located in the
waist belt, to emit the sound of a crying baby.
10 Administration of medications
MamaNatalie has a Rectum where medications can
be inserted. To simulate intramuscular administration
of medications, use the 20 ml Syringe (do not use a
needle).
