Patient Handling Manikin

The Patient Handling Manikin is a lifelike training dummy designed to simulate a real patient for practicing safe lifting, transferring, positioning, and mobility assistance. Ideal for healthcare, nursing, and caregiver training, it helps improve technique and reduce injury risk for both patients and professionals.

The Patient Handling Manikin is a high-quality, full-body training aid developed to teach and assess best practices in patient movement and manual handling. Designed to simulate the realistic weight, shape, and articulation of a human body, it supports safe, repeatable training in a variety of healthcare and caregiving environments.

With flexible joints and human-like proportions, this manikin allows caregivers, nurses, physiotherapists, and medical students to practice key patient handling techniques such as bed-to-chair transfers, repositioning in bed, hoist use, fall recovery, and assisted walking. Its soft outer shell provides comfort and realism during close-contact scenarios, while internal reinforcement ensures durability through repeated use.

Key Features:

  • Realistic Weight & Articulation: Accurately mimics an unconscious or non-cooperative patient for true-to-life handling.

  • Durable, Medical-Grade Materials: Withstands repeated lifting, turning, and repositioning in clinical and training settings.

  • Jointed Limbs & Soft Body: Allows for natural movement, dressing practice, and patient care simulations.

  • Multiple Sizes & Weights Available: Adaptable to various training levels, from lightweight practice dummies to bariatric models.

  • Safe for Manual & Equipment-Based Transfers: Compatible with slide sheets, hoists, wheelchairs, and other patient-moving aids.

The Patient Handling Manikin is an essential tool for training professionals to move patients safely and confidently, reducing the risk of injury and promoting dignity in care.
