About the Simulator…
The Life/form® Prostate Examination
Simulator closely duplicates the tactile
qualities of clinical prostate examination. It
accurately portrays various stages of pros-
tatic carcinoma and helps the student learn
to distinguish clinically between the benign
gland and malignancy.
List of Components
• 2 oz. Bottle Life/form®
Simulator Lubricant
• REN Cleaner
• 4 Glands — Stages A, B, C, D
Internal Structure
The Life/form® Prostate Examination
Simulator duplicates a male lower torso
and has been developed from an actual
specimen. Every effort has been made to
duplicate human surface textures.
The various glands supplied with this simu-
lator are larger than normal or diseased
prostate glands. These glands, when
inserted into the pelvic cavity, are intended
only to demonstrate the tactile qualities of
prostatic carcinoma and not the shape or
size of a prostate gland removed from the
pelvic cavity.
The Prostate Examination Simulator has
been designed to familiarize the physician
in training, or the medical student with the
characteristics of the benign gland. After
he/she gains confidence that the consis-
tency and regularity of the benign prostate
can be readily recognized, he/she can use
the simulator to learn to detect small areas
of carcinoma. The various glands accom-
panying the simulator show the natural
progression
of the tumor from one that is operable
and potentially curable, to those in more
advanced stages where palliation is all that
can be offered.
General Instructions for Use
1. ALWAYS lubricate the “front” sur-
face of the gland liberally with
Life/form® Simulator Lubricant
(LF00985U) or Ivory liquid deter-
gent before insertion. Lubrication
heightens the natural lifelike feel of
the gland. Make no other substitu-
tions. Petroleum-based lubricants
may attack the vinyl and cause
damage to the simulator.
2. Slowly and steadily push the gland-
rod down through the guide slot
until the gland is firmly seated in
the base of the “pelvic cavity.”
Make any minor positional adjust-
ments of the gland with one hand
while applying steady pressure on
the gland-rod with the other hand.
3. Swing the metal latch into place to
keep the gland stable.
4. ALWAYS use an examination
glove, exactly as when palpating
a patient. Lubricate the anus and
glove liberally with Life/form®
Simulator Lubricant or Ivory liquid
detergent. Bare fingers will tear the
soft simulated rectal wall.
5. Follow this procedure for insertion
of the other glands. Please note
the great care taken to duplicate
the texture and detail of human
tissues represented by the Prostate
Examination Simulator. Every effort
has been made to encourage its
handling and treatment as if it were
actually a patient. Given this kind
of care, the simulator will serve its
purpose for a long time.
Care of Simulator
Lubrication
Use Life/form® Simulator Lubricant
(LF00985U) or Ivory liquid detergent.
Apply lubrication frequently to anal opening
and the face of the gland where it contacts
the tract. This will minimize tearing and
prolong the life of the simulator. (Lubricant
not for human application.)
Cleaning
When the skin shows soiling, it can easily
be cleaned with a mild solution of Ivory liq-
uid detergent and water. Do not use abra-
sive or chemical cleaners. REN Cleaner
(W09919U) will remove stubborn stains
from the simulator. Simply spray the soiled
area and wipe clean with a soft cloth or
paper towel.
Storage
Place the simulator in plastic bag. Store in
the accompanying carrying case.
Cautions
Solvents or corrosive materials will damage
the simulator. Never place the simulator on
any kind of printed paper or plastic. These
materials will transfer an indelible stain.
Ball-point pens will also make an indelible
stain.
