Limbs & Things Maya Birthing Simulator
Limbs & Things Maya Birthing Simulator
Limbs & Things' Maya Birthing Simulator is an automated birthing simulator for midwifery and obstetric training. It combines the simplicity and portability of a skills trainer with the scenario-based learning of a full-body simulator: descent and delivery of the baby are driven mechanically and controlled via an app, while your team manages, documents, and communicates throughout the birth.
Maya allows you train the complete course of labour on a single model – from the vaginal examination through the second stage of labour to the third stage and postpartum haemorrhage. It works well for solo tabletop practice as well as interprofessional scenarios involving midwives and doctors.

Who is the Maya Birthing Simulator for?
- Midwifery science and midwifery education – fundamentals of physiological birth
- Specialist and continuing education in obstetrics
- Interprofessional team and emergency training in skills and simulation centres
What can the Maya Birthing Simulator help you train?
- Spontaneous vaginal birth with automated descent and delivery
- Performing the vaginal examination – confidently assessing cervical dilation, station, presentation, and lie
- Assessing progress of labour
- Practising vaginal breech birth
- Mastering the manoeuvres and team sequence for shoulder dystocia
- Training assisted vaginal delivery with forceps and vacuum extraction
- Managing the third stage of labour – with either a complete or an incomplete placenta
- Practising fundal massage and the management of retained placenta
- Managing postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), including quantitative blood loss measurement
- Performing urinary catheterisation
- Administering intramuscular injections
- Training communication, teamwork, and escalation pathways in an emergency
What does Maya bring to your everyday training?
- Automated birth process: descent and delivery are driven mechanically. You no longer deliver the baby by hand, leaving you free to focus on observation and debriefing.
- App control: scenarios are selected and run via an app, making sessions comparable across different instructors.
- Fully mobile legs: allow realistic birthing positions and can be removed for transport.
- Fast turnaround: the model resets quickly – essential when several groups are training back-to-back.
- Complete and incomplete placenta: two distinct learning objectives for the third stage of labour, without changing models.
- Clean Bleed® mat: simulates up to 2.5 litres of blood loss, making quantitative blood loss measurement a routine part of PPH training.
- Latex-free and available in light and dark skin tones.
Frequently asked questions about the Maya Birthing Simulator
How does Maya differ from the PROMPT Flex?
With the PROMPT Flex, you deliver the baby manually and can extend the model with add-on modules such as cervical dilation, postpartum haemorrhage, or pressure and force measurement. With Maya, a motorised drive handles descent and delivery, controlled via an app. Maya shows its strength when standardised, repeatable birth scenarios and short turnaround times matter most.
Can I train postpartum haemorrhage with Maya?
Yes. Combined with the Clean Bleed® mat, you can simulate and quantitatively measure up to 2.5 litres of blood loss – the basis for structured PPH training.
Is Maya suitable for mobile use?
Yes. The legs are removable and the model is designed for transport between training venues and for in-situ training in hospitals.
Is Maya also available with dark skin tone?
Yes, the Maya Birthing Simulator is available in both light and dark skin tones.
How is Maya cleaned?
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent, then air-dry before storage. The model must not be submerged in water.
