Lifecast Baby Victor
A hyper-realistic pre-term (28-29 weeks) deceased baby manikin for neonatal resuscitation and recognition of life extinct training. Features livor mortis, cyanotic discolouration, and true-to-life weight.
- What training programs is this manikin designed for?
It is designed for neonatal resuscitation training, recognition of life extinct (ROLE) and sensitivity training, post-mortem care, bereavement support preparation, and clinical skills including CPR, intubation, ventilation, HFOV, and umbilical drug administration. - Why is a realistic deceased baby manikin important for clinical training?
Healthcare professionals caring for families who experience neonatal loss must be clinically competent and emotionally prepared simultaneously. Training with a realistic manikin builds the procedural skills and compassionate communication approach needed before encountering a real family in this situation. - What post-mortem features are represented?
The manikin features livor mortis (post-mortem blood pooling), cyanotic skin discolouration, and blue lips — the key visual presentations that clinicians must recognise and respond to sensitively during ROLE assessment and bereavement care. - How does it fit within the wider Lifecast Baby range?
The Baby V sits within a comprehensive range spanning from 8-week miscarriage models through to term babies of 36+ weeks — allowing programs to build a complete neonatal training library covering the full spectrum of gestational presentations and clinical scenarios. - Will each manikin look exactly the same?
No. Each Lifecast manikin is individually hand-finished, meaning slight variations in appearance and colouration are expected — consistent with the bespoke manufacturing approach that gives Lifecast manikins their exceptional realism and emotional authenticity.
