Say goodbye to the old, unreliable plastic manikin technology and discover what real, hands-in-the-body simulation looks like. OEI simulators are fully operable and feature incredibly accurate and tactile anatomy, realistic blood and fluids, and are uniquely designed to provide learners with a high-adrenaline, real-world operative experience.
Operative Experience offers an extensive optional support and maintenance program to provide help when you need it and to ensure you get the most out of your simulators including:

OEI utilizes proprietary life-like soft tissue and skin that provides realistic haptic feedback during surgical and clinical procedures.
Yes, they are designed to be “tool-neutral,” meaning you can use real clinical instruments, sutures, and medical devices.
Consistent with our diversity standards, labor and delivery models like REALMOM are available in various skin tones, including Caucasian and African-American.
The OEI Labor and Delivery Suite includes five smart simulators providing the most comprehensive obstetric training experience available: RealMom, our hyper-realistic full-body birthing simulator, plus our fully operative C-Section, Hysterectomy, Postpartum Hemorrhage control, and Fetal Extraction simulators. Together they cover the full continuum from normal vaginal delivery through the most critical operative emergencies.
Yes. This is what sets OEI apart: our simulators feature lifelike skin and tissue layers that can be incised, retracted, and sutured with standard surgical instruments. Teams perform complete, hands-in-the-body procedures — emergency cesarean sections, hysterectomies, hemorrhage control — not partial task rehearsals. It’s the difference between talking through an emergency and actually performing one before it counts.
Postpartum hemorrhage remains a leading cause of preventable maternal death worldwide, and outcomes depend heavily on how quickly and confidently a team responds. High-fidelity simulation lets L&D teams rehearse rare, high-acuity emergencies — hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia, emergency cesarean delivery — repeatedly and realistically, improving response times, teamwork, and skill retention. OEI is committed to reducing maternal mortality both domestically and through humanitarian training programs in low-resource settings.
