Nearly one out of every eight newborns arrive prematurely.
To help you give your tiniest patients the best care possible, 3B Scientific is proud to introduce the Life/form® Micro-Preemie.
This 25-week ELBW (Extremely Low Birth Weight) neonate is the smallest and most realistic pre-term infant available.
Invaluable for training nurses and parents in care and handling techniques for babies that have had multiple medical interventions; the perfect team training aid for multiples or other high-risk delivery and transport scenarios.
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.
Detachable neural tube defect and omphalocele.
Includes:
- diaper
- hat
- lubricant
- 3 cc syringe
- 25 G. butterfly needle and blood powder
- Hat colour may vary
- NG tube size 5 FR. ET tube size 5 mm ID
Simulator dimensions: 12" long, 4" deep, and 18-1/2" across from hand to hand.
Features and Functions:
- Breathing – pulse bulb to manually simulate breathing rate volume.
- Ventilation – molded-in lung produces a visible chest rise when ventilated by mouth; trachea and pharynx are not anatomically correct, but will accept a functioning endotracheal tube.
- GI – one nostril will accept a functioning NG tube (tube passes through the body and liquids will either drain away from the body or into the diaper); optional stoma can be plugged into a permanent site on the abdomen.
- Umbilicus – soft, lifelike umbilicus has a patent vein and two arteries; umbilical stump functions like a cork, plugging into a small cavity molded into the abdomen (cavity can be used as a reservoir for blood drawn through a catheter or to receive fluids and the drain exits from the diaper area); a separate umbilicus represents an optional omphalocele.
- IV Access – several typical sites have embedded tubing that can accept an IV catheter; one is functional, allowing the administration of fluids, which will drain from the diaper area.
- Chest Tube – a permanent site in the baby’s side accepts a nonfunctioning chest tube.
- Neural Tube Defect – An optional structure representing an open neural tube defect can be inserted into the back.
- Various monitors, sensors, electrodes, etc., can be attached to the manikin wherever needed.
Manikin can be used with Supraglottic airway devices for airway training.
