During childbirth, the perineal body expands significantly, increasing in size by up to 65%. Creating simulated materials that mimic the stretch and resilience of human tissue is no easy task. That’s why MamaAnne, our high-fidelity obstetric simulator, undergoes rigorous testing designed to help reflect the realities of childbirth as closely as possible. In this video, you can see testing focused on the stretchability and durability of the material used to create MamaAnne’s perineal tissue.
