*For fixing the skin in place, two hook and loop fasteners are located on the shoulders, six on
the sides, and two on the lower part of the abdomen.
While smoothing down the skin with the hand to eliminate wrinkles on the abdomen,
secure it with the hook and loop fasteners.
*After setting the skin in place, adjust the volume of air in the amnion while observing the
amnion indicator and tension on the abdomen before use.
[REFERENCE]
As the volume of air in the amnion becomes larger, the situation where palpation is more
difficult can be simulated. Using a smaller volume of air simulates the situation where
palpation is easier. Adjust to suit the situation.
*Attach the skin to the manikin when practicing nipple massage or breast care.
