Background: Breech extraction of a second twin is a skill useful for any health care provider planning on undertaking vaginal delivery of twins. However, training opportunities in this skill may be limited.
Method: Using readily available supplies, a reusable model neoprene uterus can be constructed, as can a balloon model to simulate a fetus in the amniotic cavity.
Experience: The model allowed demonstration of skills expected of trainees and is easy to construct. A simulated vagina addition increased extraction difficulty and increased the probability of balloon (amniotic sac) rupture during simulation. A hysterotomy addition enhanced model applicability for use at simulated cesarean delivery of the breech fetus.
Conclusion: This educational device for simulation of breech extraction realistically simulates a fetus suspended in an amniotic cavity and challenges learners to use tactile cues for prompt and proper identification, grasping, and delivery of the fetal foot or feet.
