SET UP
1.
Place the pelvic organ block into the torso as pictured, making sure it is locked in place beneath the
pubic bone.
(See figure 1.)
Note:
See Special Features section related to use of the bladder before moving forward.
2.
Select a uterus/cervix piece and attach the ovaries as shown.
(See figure 2.)
Ovaries may be used in
any combination with uterus/cervix pieces except letter (D) IUD.
Note:
The permanent tubing extending from the normal uterus (A) can exit the lower torso in any
position convenient for procedure. See Discharge Option in the Special Features section for addi-
tional information.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
1.
Patent Urethra: The patent urethra will accept a Foley catheter (16 FR or smaller). The catheter may
be inflated, although the bladder is not designed to hold fluid.
2.
Bladder: The bladder insert may be used to simulate a full bladder. Insert the bladder into the Pelvic
Organ Block as desired for training scenarios during the initial steps of set up.
(See figure 9.)
3.
Prolapse: The double-ended pelvic organ prolapse insert may be positioned anywhere within the
vagina. Be sure to lubricate the insert before placement.
(See figures 10 and 11.)
4.
Discharge Option: The normal uterus (A) has an optional discharge function. In a small cup, mix a
small amount of thickener and/or blood powder with water to get the desired color and consistency.
(Use caution — blood will stain fabric and skin.) Fill the syringe and inject the mixture through the
tubing until it comes out the cervix.
(See figure 12.)
Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly before storage.
3.
Insert the uterus/cervix into the cavity in the pelvic organ block.
(See figure 3.)
4.
Fasten the genital pad onto the torso. Fold the top edge over the pubic bone then attach as shown.
(See figures 4 & 5.)
5.
Place the gel pad into the abdominal cavity The pad should cover the ovaries, but not the uterus.
(See figure 6.)

Attach the abdominal skin to the sides of the torso.

Remember to ALWAYS thoroughly lubricate anything that will be put into the introitus or vaginal
vault. Failure to do so will damage the simulator and void your warranty. Nasco recommends a
waterbased lubricating jelly.
