Patent number: 11568763Abstract: A patient simulator system includes a fetal patient simulator including a simulated torso and a simulated head attached to the simulated torso and being moveable in relation to the simulated torso between a neutral position and a raised position. An actuator is configured to raise the simulated head from the neutral position to the raised position. The actuator may be disposed within the simulated head of the fetal patient simulator. The patient simulator system may further include a maternal patient simulator in which the fetal patient simulator is adapted to be disposed to simulate a birthing scenario. The actuator may raise the simulated head from the neutral position to the raised position during the birthing scenario to simulate the rise of a natural fetus's head during birth. The actuator may comprise an inflatable bag or other member positioned outside of the fetal patient simulator and within the maternal patient simulator.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Gaumard Scientific Company, Inc.Inventors: Miguel Carvajal, Victor Fernandez, Jeffrey Karpf, Yojans Lurbe, Lazaro Morales, Alberto Rodriguez

Patent number: 10706745Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods appropriate for use in medical training are disclosed. In some instances, a patient simulator system is provided that includes a maternal patient simulator and a fetal patient simulator. The maternal patient simulator includes an internal chamber sized to receive the fetal patient simulator and a birthing mechanism disposed within the internal chamber configured to translate and rotate the fetal patient simulator with respect to the maternal patient simulator to simulate a birth. In some instances, the maternal patient simulator includes a structural framework and a sub-layer engaged with the structural framework to provide structural support and alignment features for one or more soft silicon outer layers defining a realistic skin of the maternal patient simulator.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Gaumard Scientific Company, Inc.Inventors: Miguel Carvajal, Victor Fernandez, Jeffrey Karpf, Yojans Lurbe, Lazaro Morales, Alberto Rodriguez
