For family planning practitioners and OB/GYN trainees rehearsing IUD insertion technique on a model that mimics uterine resistance — before performing the procedure on patients.

The Astra™ IUD Skills Training Model is purpose-built to support comprehensive, hands-on training in intrauterine device (IUD) care. Designed for healthcare professionals in women's health, Astra enables realistic practice of IUD assessment, insertion, positioning, and extraction techniques. With anatomically accurate structures and life-like tactile feedback, Astra bridges the gap between theoretical learning and clinical confidence.

Note: this is a newly launched Granville model. Lead times may be longer than in-stock items — contact Candent for current availability.

Key Features

• Procedure-Focused Anatomy: Engineered specifically for IUD training, Astra includes a realistic vulva, vaginal canal, and cervix optimized for accurate simulation of uterine access and device placement.
• Life-like Tissue Response: Crafted from advanced silicone to replicate the softness, flexibility, and resistance of human tissue during speculum use, sounding, insertion, and removal.
• Repeatable Training Environment: Replaceable uterus with cervix allows for repeated practice of IUD procedures, supporting skill development and competency-based learning. The uterus with attached cervix can be reused with a tenaculum approximately 2-5 times; replacement uteruses are sold separately.
• Inclusive Skin Tones: Available in light, medium, and dark skin tones to reflect diverse patient populations.
