PRESSURE ULCERS
The manikin shows several typical sites of skin breakdown: occiput and heels.
(See figures 6 & 7.)

IV SITES
The Micro-Preemie has four molded-in sites typically used for peripheral IV access: right scalp, right foot,
left arm, and left hand. All four will accept an infusion device, but none of the sites are functional.
Note:
The soft material of this manikin is self- healing and will accept a small gauge needle anywhere
on the body. Before insertion, make certain that the needle will not damage any underlying structures.
Over time, repeated punctures, especially in the same area, will result in damage to the simulator. Nasco
warranty does not cover damage caused by needle insertion.
CHEST TUBE
A permanent site in the baby’s right side will accept a nonfunctioning 8-10 FR chest tube for placement
and care practice.

BIRTH DEFECTS
A. Omphalocele
The umbilicus may be replaced with the omphalocele for specialized training. Ensure the abdominal
reservoir is empty. The omphalocele is nonfunctional.
(See figure 8.)
B. Myelomeningocele (Neural Tube Defect)
The optional structure may be plugged into the small opening in the back of the Micro-Preemie.
(See figure 9.)
Actual product may vary slightly from photo. Nasco reserves the right to change product color, materials,
supplies, or function as needed.

OTHER
Various monitors and sensors may be connected to the Micro-Preemie just as they would be to a real
infant.
CARE OF THE SIMULATOR
•
Nasco Micro-Preemie material is soft but durable and will last a long time with proper care.
•
While the arms and legs are very flexible, avoid forcing them into extreme positions.
•
The manikin is completely immersible in water and may be washed with mild soap or detergent
if soiled.
•
Always allow all components to dry thoroughly before storage.
•
Baby powder can be applied to the baby and its components for a less tacky skin surface.
