The MEDICFX Babies product line offers an unmatched range of lifelike newborn simulation models designed for use across medical education, trauma training, maternal health, and caregiver instruction. Each model is handcrafted by SPFX (special effects) artists using soft platinum silicone and realistic detailing-including skin texture, subtle colouring, and mohair rooting, to replicate the look and feel of a real baby. Our babies are made to order, giving each model a unique personality and finish, while maintaining a consistent level of anatomical accuracy and training utility.

These simulators are not toys or props; they are professional-grade tools that support hands-on procedural training and immersive simulation scenarios. Designed to meet the growing demand for high-realism, low-technology simulation products, MEDICFX Babies provide a tactile, clinically relevant experience that integrates seamlessly with modern training programs.

Whether used in conjunction with birthing manikins, worn maternity bellies, or as stand-alone infant task trainers, our babies are flexible, durable, and versatile, supporting skills acquisition in a wide variety of clinical disciplines, including obstetrics, nursing, paramedicine, midwifery, emergency medicine, and neonatal intensive care.

Proper care and handling will ensure your MEDICFX Babies remain durable, lifelike, and effective for training over many years. In this video, Peter [our medical and technical advisor ] shares expert guidance on maintaining your newborn models, from airway preparation to cleaning and storage.

Each MEDICFX Baby is handcrafted from platinum silicone and designed to replicate the look, feel, and handling of a real newborn. Like real babies, they need careful handling and respect to preserve their detail and function.

Key care tips covered in the video include:

• Avoid catching or bending delicate features such as fingers.
  
• Treat rooted hair gently — avoid pulling or rough handling.
  
• Always lubricate before intubation or airway management to protect silicone interiors.
  
• Wipe away excess lubricant with soft swabs; use isopropyl alcohol for drying and disinfection.
  
• Babies may be gently washed, but never submerge the head or airway.
  
• Expect tactile realism with hand ventilation, but not full mechanical ventilation performance.
  
• Silicone repair kits and tutorials are available to extend product life.
