Background
Gaumard was founded by a trauma surgeon from World War II who was instrumental in developing simulators for surgical procedures on the battlefield. The company's inaugural product was an artificial human skeleton intended to substitute real skeletons used in medical instruction.
Their product line includes various simulators and educational tools, notably birthing simulators like Victoria and Noelle.
VICTORIA (birthing simulator)
The Noelle S2200, also known as "Victoria," is a life-sized healthcare training simulator representing a laboring mother. It is capable of simulating deliveries at full term or premature stages and can be programmed to reproduce scenarios ranging from standard vaginal births to cesarean sections. It also models complications such as breech births, shoulder dystocia, maternal hemorrhage, and umbilical cord prolapse, allowing practitioners to train for uncommon yet critical clinical events.
Victoria functions wirelessly with an 8-hour rechargeable battery and is compatible with authentic medical devices including fetal heart monitors, pulse oximeters, and blood pressure measurement tools.
