Runa & Ayla vaginal simulators
Runa and Ayla are vaginal simulators used for skills training in obstetrics and gynecology. They allow healthcare professionals and students to practice examination techniques and clinical procedures without practicing on patients.
Runa & Ayla simulators as learning tools
Vaginal simulators used for skills training are not medical devices and are intended solely for educational purposes. They allow healthcare professionals to train before real clinical situations without treating a patient. Runa and Ayla are developed with anatomically correct structures and materials designed to provide a realistic training experience. Simulation-based training supports competence development while reducing unnecessary examinations and improving patient safety.
Key characteristics
Lifelike materials and anatomical correct landmarks
Lightweight design for easy transport between sites
No maintenance required
Runa and Ayla are realistic, easy-to-use simulators that support frequent and accessible training. They are developed in response to a perceived gap in the simulator market by the founders of Induvita, who have more than 20 years of experience in obstetrics and gynecology. The overall goal is to increase simulator-based training before patient examinations, supporting clinician confidence and examination quality.
“This simulator is authentic and very suitable both for speculum use and examination during labor”
How does the vaginal simulators work?
Runa vaginal simulator
Runa is developed for training in vaginal examination during childbirth and gynecological speculum examinations. She is designed to support understanding of labor progression rather than the delivery itself and allows training in scenarios related to labor progression, including:
cervical dilatation
position and descent of the fetal head
presentation during childbirth
Ayla vaginal simulator
Ayla supports hands-on practice of common gynecological procedures in a controlled training environment. Use her to practice gynecological examination and procedures such as:
Pap smear sampling
IUD insertion
Endometrial biopsy
Why are simulators used in obstetric and gynecological training?
Medical skills training is essential to achieve competence before performing procedures on patients. Training on simulators helps:
Reduce the risk of misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment
Limit unnecessary or repeated examinations
Improve confidence and examination quality
Simulation is commonly used before and alongside clinical training.
Who uses simulators for training?
Vaginal simulators are commonly used in hospitals and educational institutions by:
Gynecologists
Obstetricians
Midwives
General practitioners
Medical and nursing students
FAQ – Runa & Ayla
-
Yes, the simulators can be purchased as a standalone simulator or as part of a complete simulator set. This allows institutions to choose the solution that best fits their training needs.
-
Runa holds all the parts you need to simulate all stages during labor. You can switch and build scenarios with:
Four different cervixes – one, three, five and eight cm opening.
A presenting part with five different presentations; head, breech, occiput, vertex and forehead.
A frame for the presenting part with the following positions: occiput anterior (OA), occiput posterior (OP), transverse (OT) and oblique
Spacers to determine progression
Spacer with amniotic sac (membranes)
-
Ayla has a cervix, a uterine cavity and a fundus uteri that can be visualised to check if a procedure has been executed correctly.
-
The simulators are designed to reflect relevant anatomical structures and examination scenarios used in obstetric and gynecological training. They are developed to support practical learning objectives.
The simulators includes a built-in pelvis with key anatomical landmarks, such as the symphysis pubis and ischial spines, used for orientation during examinations and childbirth.
-
Ayla and Runa are medical training simulators used in obstetric and gynecological education. They are designed to support hands-on training of examination techniques and clinical procedures in a controlled environment.
-
The simulators are intended for healthcare professionals and students, including:
Midwives
Obstetricians
Gynecologists
Medical, midwife and nursing students
They are used in hospitals, universities, and clinical training centers.
-
Ayla is primarily used for gynecological examination training, while Runa is designed for obstetric and childbirth-related training. They support different training scenarios within women’s health education.
-
Simulators are used to practice examination techniques, procedural skills, and clinical scenarios without involving real patients. They allow repeated practice and support learning before clinical application.
-
No. Simulation is used to complement, not replace, real clinical experience. It is typically used as preparation before performing procedures on patients.
-
Simulation is used to improve patient safety and support skill development. It allows healthcare professionals to practice procedures in a structured and ethical way, particularly during early stages of training.
-
No. Ayla and Runa are training simulators intended for educational use in clinical training environments. They are not used on patients.
