- M. sphincter ani externus (outer anal sphincter muscle)
- M. transversus perinei superficialis (superficial transverse perineal muscle)
- M. bulbospongiosus (bulbospongiosus muscle)
Each life-like simulated cuts can be sutured several times prolonging the life of the trainer. It also allows for the suture technique to be assessed by trainers, after which the students can practice again once the sutures have been removed.
The adjustable holder for the simulated tissue stands firmly on the table without slipping. The insert can be taken out of the holder and then worked on while it is lying on the table. A great value tool for midwifery wound management courses.
