Bariatric Training Manikin
Staff in every sector need training to handle heavier people effectively. “Globally, the number of overweight and obese individuals had risen to 1.46 billion in 2008, a 23% increase since 1980 (ODI Future Diets Report).” Obesity is a genuine problem in Ireland and across the world, and judging by government figures and anecdotal evidence, the problem is rapidly getting worse.

Description
Features & Benefits
- 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 rescuer. 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.
