Assisted Vaginal Birth Module (AVB) - PROMPT Flex

The Assisted Vaginal Birth Module is the latest addition to the PROMPT Flex family, creating the ideal trainer for the practice of instrumental delivery procedures.

WHAT TYPES OF AVB CAN BE PERFORMED WITH THIS MODULE?

This module can be used to perform both ventouse and forceps deliveries.

Ventouse delivery - To aid in vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery, the AVB module comes with a Baby Mask.

This mask is fitted to the PROMPT Baby head to allow the cup of the suction device to adhere to the skin for successful deliveries.

Forcep-assisted delivery - Foam inserts in the side of the uterus allow for forceps to be inserted and remain in place while the second side is positioned.
