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.
