Internal Structure
The complete set of simulators consists of six separate pelvic blocks. The external appearance of all six blocks is identical with the variations occuring only within the internal structure. Internal texture, tissue density, and correct anatomical size are all carefully represented to provide the most realistic condition possible.

The simulators depict six different cervical conditions prior to birth. Each pelvic block is identified on the bottom to indicate which condition exists internally. (See figure 1.)

The different conditions depicted are:
Stage 1: no dilation, no effacement Stage 4 5 cm dilation, full effacement
Stage 2: 2 cm dilation, 50% effacement Stage 5 7 cm dilation, full effacement
Stage 3: 2 cm dilation, full effacement Stage 6 9 cm dilation, full effacement
