Key Features
Realistic Design and Weight: The manikin is anatomically correct and sized to represent a newborn. It weighs 4 lbs. when empty and is designed to be filled with water to simulate the weight and feel of a real victim. When filled with water, it weighs approximately 7 lbs. (3 kg).
Durable Construction: The manikin is made from a durable, heavy-duty plastic that is rust-resistant and designed to withstand repeated use in water. It features articulated joints, allowing for a realistic feel when a student is attempting to carry or stabilize the manikin.
Realistic Water Positioning: The manikin is designed to sink to the bottom when filled with water, simulating a submerged or unconscious newborn. This is essential for students to practice proper rescue and extrication techniques, such as submerged victim recovery.
Non-CPR Manikin: It is important to note that this manikin is not offered with a CPR option. Its primary function is for water rescue training.
Compatibility: The manikin can be used with a variety of accessories, such as rescue collars and backboards, to enhance the training experience.
