• With this trainer, taking care of the following birth injuries can be practiced and demonstrated:
• Episiotomy, for example:
• Median episiotomy
• Mediolateral episiotomy
• Lateral episiotomy
• Vaginal tears
• Labial tears
• To make caring for and closing these birth wounds as realistic as possible, the following muscle structures can be palpated and sutured in the perineal area:
• M. sphincter ani externus (outer anal sphincter muscle)
• M. transversus perinei superficialis (superficial transverse perineal muscle)

Obstetrics simulation to improve clinical skills: The episiotomy and suture trainer provides realistic help with practicing taking care of and closing birth injuries after vaginal births. The medical personnel (midwives and doctors) should be continuously trained in diagnosing and taking care of birth injuries.
