RUTH LEE PATIENT HANDLING MANIKIN

Non Stock Item! Lead-times may apply to this item.

IDEAL FOR THE FOLLOWING TRAINING SCENARIOS:

Train your staff to avoid back injuries associated with unsafe, high risk moves when handling patients and aid compliance with Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (Health & Safety at Work Act 1974). Developed with moving and handling coordinators to provide a manikin perfect for patient handling training, including use of hoists and other lifting devices.

SPECIAL MATERIALS:

Constructed from the same flame retardant material used in Police ballistic/stab vests, offering 4x the strength and abrasion resistance of 16oz canvas or P.V.C. (conforms to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, BS EN ISO 12947-2 & 14116: 2008). High density polypropylene webbing (25mm rated to 207 Kg, 50mm rated to 440Kg).

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

• Designed and tested with moving and handling experts to provide the perfect manikin for patient handling training.
• Constructed with an elongated plastic spine which allows the manikin to sit upright in bed, a wheelchair or hoist - essentially acting as a ‘conscious’ patient would.
• Constructed with plastic strips in the thigh to prevent too much bend when hoisting.
• The arms and legs are detachable at the shoulder and knee respectively, meaning you can replicate an amputee in training. Likewise, removing the arms and legs makes the manikin easier and lighter to move independently to set up training or transport between sites.
• Soft body joints to eliminate the risk of pinch welts and bruising; common injuries when using plastic bodied manikins.
• Additional weight has been added to the bottom area to enable it to sit better in a sling, chair or wheelchair.
• Velcro straps at the wrist let trainers keep the arms together, strap one arm up in a sling position during hoisting, or to hold onto the sling.
• An immobilisation/extrication collar can be fitted around the neck of our adult manikins to promote proper casualty care.
• Supplied undressed, so that you can dress it according to your scenario in pyjamas or day clothing - we advise that you wash clothing between training sessions.
• The 30kg manikin comes complete with weighted (with additional grip on the soles) and un-weighted soft feet. The weighted feet are for bed work, or when using a wheelchair. The unweighted are for sling/hoist work.
• The 50kg manikin comes with weighted feet only.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS:

• Facemask and wig to add realism.

EXTENSIVELY USED BY:
