Bariatric (Obese)Training Manikin

The Bariatric (Obese) Training Manikin is a life-sized, heavy-weighted manikin designed to simulate the handling challenges of an obese patient. With realistic body proportions, flexible joints, and durable construction, it’s ideal for training in patient care, lifting techniques, evacuation, and emergency response involving bariatric individuals.

The Bariatric (Obese) Training Manikin is a high-fidelity simulation tool specifically developed to help healthcare professionals, emergency responders, and caregivers safely train for scenarios involving obese or morbidly obese patients. Designed to mimic the size, shape, and weight distribution of a real bariatric individual, this manikin enables realistic practice in lifting, transferring, repositioning, and rescuing patients with limited mobility.

This full-body manikin is constructed from durable, water-resistant materials and features reinforced joints and padding to endure repeated use in demanding training environments. The soft outer body simulates excess body mass, creating authentic challenges related to grip, positioning, and space management.

Key Features:

  • True-to-Life Weight and Proportions: Simulates the size and shape of a patient weighing up to 400+ lbs (180+ kg), offering a realistic feel for bariatric handling.

  • Durable & Flexible Design: Articulated joints and a robust internal structure allow safe movement while maintaining realistic resistance and flexibility.

  • Multi-Purpose Use: Suitable for lifting, transferring, bed care, hoist use, ambulance loading, and confined space rescue training.

  • Compatible with Medical Equipment: Works with stretchers, wheelchairs, slide sheets, and evacuation devices.

  • Optional CPR Functionality: Some models include a functional airway and chest compression feature for combined care and resuscitation training.

  • Constructed in waterproof Polyester, it conforms to BS EN ISO 6330, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, and ISO 17050-1. It is tough, safe to handle, and easy to clean.
  • Anatomically correct weight distribution gives the ‘feel’ of an unconscious person, helping to improve pre-hospital clinical care.
  • Strong enough to be buried under concrete or steel lintels without damage, placed in or under vehicles—these manikins are tough enough for all training exercises!
  • Ruth Lee has worked hard to achieve a ‘fluidity of movement’ with the weight rather than just producing a heavy ‘lump’, so these manikins are realistic.
  • In rescue scenarios, they are designed for a team of at least 4-6 people to rescue the manikin. They are supplied with a carrying sheet to assist in carrying and positioning the manikin. The carry sheet has a safe working load of up to 600kg (LOLER certified).
  • If required, the neck allows for fitting an immobilisation/extrication collar, promoting proper casualty care.
  • Ruth Lee has created a 50 kg version of the bariatric manikin, which provides the visual impact of a plus-size patient without excessive weight, perfect for healthcare settings and for manufacturers and suppliers of bariatric equipment to demonstrate their products safely.
