It is intended to be an educational tool for midwives to practice treating postpartum hemorrhage. The device is strapped to the instructor, who is able to control the fetal heart sounds, delivery of the placenta, baby position, uterine firmness, and volume and rate of blood flow loss.\n\n== Designed by ==\n\nThis device was invented by Laerdal, a clinical simulator product company. Laerdal has a wide network of distribution partners around the world.\n\n* Manufacturer location:\n\nLaerdal has manufacturing sites in the USA, Norway and China.\n\n== When and where it was tested/implemented ==\n\nFor every product bought for use in a developed country, Laerdal will donate one for use in training program in a developing country. It is being made available for $100 on a not-for-profit basis. They have performed field testing in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and India.\n\n== Funding Source ==\n\nPrivate\n\n== References ==\n\n=== Peer-reviewed publication ===\n\nCrofts JF, Winter C, and Sowter MC. 2011.
