Rugged, realistic in size, weight distribution and handling characteristics. Upgraded to a polyester fabric shell material. Manufactured using a flexible inner core and an outer shell. The Patient Handling Manikins totally eliminate the risk of the pinching associated with the joints of the plastic-bodied manikins. The inner core is weighted to human proportions using 4.4 lb packets of aggregate. For structural integrity, the packets are sewn to a nylon inner dummy with all the body parts (arms, legs, chest, etc.) held in place with polypropylene webbing.
