Cervical cerclage involves an emergency stitching around the cervix and is necessary when the cervix shortens or opens too early during pregnancy, helping to prevent late miscarriage or extreme premature labour.
The procedure is uncommon and the simulator was developed by Dr Tydeman following a request from medical trainees across the UK.
It has already been warmly received by hospitals and training institutions across the world – with orders from countries including New Zealand and India. Every unit sold will see ten per cent of the unit cost go towards supporting the work of the research and development department in Fife.

A new training aid, developed in Fife, is helping to equip trainee medical staff from around the world with the skills to prevent late miscarriage and premature labour.
It was invented by Dr Graham Tydeman, consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at Kirkcaldy’s Victoria Hospital, in conjunction with the St Thomas’ Hospital, London, and Limbs and Things.
