PROMPT Flex trainers offer a versatile platform for obstetric training
Core skills
As a stand alone trainer it allows for practical skills practice for common birthing scenarios.
Evidence-based training
Simulation training for maternity staff is linked to improved management and neonatal outcomes of births complicated by shoulder dystocia.
Classroom & group learning
With the addition of the Augmented Reality Training Mat, sessions can be hands-on and self-study. Compatible tablets or phones with the Limbs AR app can scan the model and view the Augmented Reality animation overlay while other students are doing practical work.
Modular design
A range of modules are available to upgrade the birthing simulator for more complex scenarios. These interchangeable modules are designed to work with the PROMPT Flex’s base Birthing Mother unit with minimal set-up, to offer a cost effective labour and delivery training solution.
Comes with wheeled carry case for safe storage and transportation
The PROMPT Flex Range can offer a complete training solution for birth management

Improved articulation of the joints offers enhanced realism for difficult birthing scenarios, such as shoulder dystocia
Anatomy
Anatomy of the PROMPT birthing mother:
Articulated thighs
Perineum, birthing canal, and cervix
Pubic bone and gynaecoid pelvis
Anatomy of the PROMPT Baby:
Clavicles
Suture lines and fontanelles
Umbilical cord and placenta
Bend at the thoraco-lumbar region of the Standard PROMPT Flex Baby (unique to this model)
Simulated Patient
This birthing trainer, and modules from the PROMPT Flex range, can be used with a simulated patient to develop communication skills
Cleaning
Clean off excess lubricant from all mother and baby surfaces
Wipe the product with a damp soft cloth, warm water and mild detergent
Allow the birthing trainer and its components to dry before storing
Safety
This product is latex free
A poorly lubricated baby or placenta may damage the birth canal or cervix when pushed through during a procedure
We recommend lubricating the cervix, birth canal and baby before each birth
We recommend using Limbs & Things lubricant, non-recommended fluid products may weaken or damage the trainer
Wear gloves at all times, and remove all sharp objects. Sharp surfaces (such as fingernails and rings) can lead to silicone damage

Clinical Skills Development Service – MEP Foundation
Maternity Education Program (MEP) Foundation is a one day simulation workshop designed for medical and midwifery staff who are new to working in a maternity clinical environment. The session provides an introduction to the clinical management of pregnant women throughout labour, birth and the postnatal period, and dealing with complications along the way. The day is broken down into: • interactive case discussion and management • skills stations with application into a simulated environment • supported debrief to enable learners to improve their knowledge for clinical practice
Clinical Skills Development Service – MEP Advanced
Maternity Education Program (MEP) Advanced is a one day simulation workshop designed for medical and midwifery staff who are currently working in a maternity clinical environment. The session explores pregnancy related issues, intrapartum complexities and postnatal complications through simulation and case studies. The day is broken down into: • refresher on Human Factors in health care, Crisis Resource Management (CRM) principles and graded assertiveness • skills stations associated with the simulations • several immersive simulations (with supportive debrief) to enable learners to improve their knowledge and skills

Is the Standard PROMPT birthing simulator suitable to demonstrate different birthing scenarios?
Yes, with this birthing trainer you can demonstrate and practice normal and breech birth, OVD (Operative Vaginal Delivery) with inclusion of forceps and vacuum devices, and shoulder dystocia. You can also add additional modules for procedures such as, caesarean section, cervical cerclage, and postpartum haemorrhage.
Can you perform common procedures with the Standard PROMPT Flex?
Yes. As well as normal vaginal births, this product offers training scenarios in extended breech births, instrumental births, and shoulder dystocia. You can practice additional procedures using our optional add-on modules.
We already have a PROMPT Flex birth simulator, but not an Augmented Reality mat, can we buy them separately?
Yes. The Augmented Reality Training mats were add to the range in 2024 and are now part of the PROMPT trainer package, however, you can get them as an add-on to any of your existing models. You can order the PROMPT Flex Birthing Simulator Mat online, or request a quote from the customer service team.
Does this version of the birthing simulator allow for force monitoring?
The standard birthing mother doesn’t currently offer force monitoring. If you’re interested in this feature take a look at the Advanced PROMPT Flex Birthing Simulator which has wifi enabled force monitoring.
What does this childbirth simulator offer to medical students?
As part of a birth simulation, trainees will get hands-on experience with our realistic labour simulator. Simulated births offer the chance to develop their communication and teamwork skills, as well as practice fundamental skills required during labour.
Will using the PROMPT Flex Birthing Simulator during training improve neonatal outcomes?
A retrospective study undertaken by Southmead Hospital, UK, showed that after the introduction of simulation training there was improvement seen in the management and outcomes of births complicated by shoulder dystocia. See the skills tab for more information on the study: Improving Neonatal Outcome Through Practical Shoulder Dystocia Training.
