Key Features
Realistic Weight and Distribution: The manikin is weighted to accurately simulate an adult patient, providing a lifelike feel for trainees during lifting, carrying, and repositioning. This is crucial for practicing proper body mechanics and preventing injury to both the patient and the caregiver.
Durable Construction: Made from a durable, lifelike vinyl material, the manikin is built to withstand repeated use in a demanding clinical training environment.
Articulated Joints: The manikin features fully articulated joints at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles, allowing for realistic positioning and movement. This makes it possible to practice a wide range of patient care skills, from bed mobility to transfers.
Anatomical Accuracy: The manikin is anatomically correct, with realistic body proportions and landmarks that are essential for training in patient assessment and care.
Safety and Versatility: It can be used for training in situations where a human volunteer might be uncomfortable or at risk, providing a safe and effective way to practice high-risk patient handling procedures.
