Mountain Rescue Manikins

The Mountain Rescue Manikins is manufactured by Ruth Lee Ltd and distributed exclusively in Ireland by Phoenix STS (Safety Equipment Ireland). As the authorised sole distributor for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, we provide full sales support, product guidance, and after-sales service.

The Mountain Rescue Manikin was originally developed in conjunction with Scottish Mountain Rescue. The Ruth Lee standard manikins were too heavy to be able to carry up a mountain to set a training scenario for body recovery following an avalanche so we were asked if we were able to create something that would fit their brief.

We are pleased to say that this has been achieved and the Mountain Rescue manikin is the result.

The manikin is made from the same flame retardant Polyester used in Police ballistic/stab vests, which typically has 4 times the strength and abrasion resistance of P.V.C (the materials previously used) and is filled with foam to give the bulk and firmness of a body whilst being lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. The manikin also comes complete with a backpack that enables the manikin to be folded in half and easily transported.

We have now integrated RECCO® reflectors into the Mountain Rescue manikin to make it the only Avalanche Training Manikin in the world to utilise this rescue system. The RECCO® reflector  makes an avalanche casualty searchable to professional rescuers. It is a complement to a transceiver and RECCO® detectors are used by rescue teams in over800 ski resortsworldwide. For more information visitwww.recco.com.

Available in just the one weight and size complete with backpack.
