Lifecast Preterm Baby (boy)

The Smallest Lives Demand the Biggest Care: Embracing Premature Babies

With approximately 1.9 million babies worldwide born within 28-29 weeks gestation annually, this significant number underscores the urgent need for healthcare professionals to be well-prepared for their medical management. Our premature baby from Lifecast Body Simulation is an accurate representation of a baby born at 28-29 weeks gestation, created through the scanning and sculpting of real premature newborns.

Our premature manikin will assist in the training of healthcare professionals for the acute medical management of premature patients, a widely recognized challenge.
