Midwifery pelvis model BIX-A1038 — bony pelvis plus fetal skull on a flexible arm that holds any position, US$40.36. Built for labour mechanism.
...
Short answer: BIX-A1038 is a female bony pelvis — two innominate bones, sacrum and coccyx — combined with a fetal skull attached through a flexible metal tube that can be fixed in any position. The cprmodel page lists it at US$40.36 and states its purpose as teaching the normal labour mechanism. It is a positioning model, not a birthing simulator: nothing on the page claims a birth canal, a perineum or a delivery mechanism.

| Teaching point | Possible on BIX-A1038? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pelvic inlet shape and diameters | Yes | Bony landmarks are the point of the model |

| Cervical dilatation assessment | No | No cervix |
Midwifery teaching separates the mechanism of labour into cardinal movements, and each movement is defined by the relationship between the fetal skull and the maternal pelvis. An interactive pelvic anatomy model tested in a randomised controlled trial improved anatomy learning compared with standard teaching, which supports the case for a physical model rather than slides alone [3]. Operative vaginal birth training reviews make the clinical argument: decision-making depends on station and position, and those are learned by handling a pelvis and a head together [2]. Contemporary work on impacted fetal head at caesarean delivery reinforces how consequential a misjudged position can be [1].
None of that requires a full birthing simulator. It requires a bony pelvis, a fetal skull, and enough units that students can set positions themselves rather than watch a tutor do it.
| Check | Why it decides the purchase |
|---|---|
| Does the metal tube hold position without drifting? | A skull that sags cannot demonstrate a fixed position. |
| Is the fetal skull life size? | Scale matters when teaching diameters and moulding. |
| Are sutures and fontanelles marked on the skull? | Position is read from landmarks, not from shape alone. |
| Is the pelvis female, and are the diameters marked? | The page says female pelvis; ask whether diameters are labelled. |
| Carton quantity, size and gross weight | Not published; needed for a class-set order. |
| Lead time and warranty | Scored in public tenders. |
Email cprmodel@adaanatomy.com with those six questions and the number of student groups you run. At US$40.36 the case for a class set is strong; the carton data is what you still need.
Q1. What is BIX-A1038?
A female pelvis model with a fetal skull attached on a flexible metal tube that can be fixed in any position, intended for teaching the normal labour mechanism.
Q2. How much does it cost?
US$40.36 is listed on the cprmodel page. Confirm at your quantity; carton data is not published.
Q3. Can it simulate a birth?
No. It is a bony pelvis with a posable fetal skull; there is no birth canal or soft tissue.
Q4. What pelvic bones are included?
Two innominate bones, the sacrum and the coccyx.
Q5. Is the fetal skull removable?
The page describes it as firmly connected by a flexible metal tube; it is posable rather than detachable.
Q6. How do I order?
Email cprmodel@adaanatomy.com with model BIX-A1038, quantity and delivery city, and ask for carton quantity and gross weight.
Write to cprmodel@adaanatomy.com for the BIX-A1038 price at class-set quantity and the freight configuration. If your programme also needs a delivery simulator, ask for both in one message so the difference in capability is stated in writing.
