Tiniest Lives Need the Greatest Care: Embracing Micro-preemie Babies

Advancements in medical science have extended the perceived age of viability, making it possible for most babies to survive outside the womb as early as 22 to 23 weeks of gestation. This has created a need for a miniature manikin that can be used to simulate training for the care of infants in this specific age group. We introduced the world’s first ever 22-23 weeks micro-preemie manikin, developed in collaboration with Dr Alok Sharma, Consultant Neonatologist at Southampton Hospital, England.

Since micro-preemies are born several months before their due dates, they face long stays in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and although many premature babies grow up with no long-term effects, many face severe health problems at birth. The initial treatment they receive can have a dramatic impact on how the babies develop over the short and long term and therefore effective medical education plays a critical part in optimising this care.
Our Micro-preemie manikin by Lifecast Body Simulation will aid in the training of healthcare providers for the urgent medical management of premature patients, a challenge that has been widely recognized.
An anatomically correct and highly realistic micro-preemie manikin, helps healthcare professionals to:
  • Enhance established protocols to address the various complexities presented by premature newborns.
  • Attain proficiency in the skills required for the optimal care of preterm infants, leading to improved patient outcomes.
  • Develop emotional intelligence using realistic manikins which is integral to providing compassionate, effective, and high-quality healthcare.
Key features:
  • True average weight representation of 500 grams
  • Anatomically accurate outer body
  • Anatomically correct internal airway ensure proper technique for:
    • Intubation
    • ET/NP/OP tube insertion
  • Reactive chest that rises and falls when artificially ventilated. (This manikin is suitable for High frequency Oscillatory ventilation)
  • Realistic airway pressures and ventilatory volumes.
  • Nasogastric tube placement
  • CPR capable chest
  • Designed to facilitate a 50/50 duty cycle during chest compressions
  • Drug administration up to 5mL through umbilical cord
  • Skin turgor for dry training of intravenous therapy
  • Perform chest drain and needle decompression to treat tension pneumothorax function (no fluid)
