Bariatric (Obese) Training Manikin | Ruth Lee

The manikin was designed with anatomical weight distribution in mind, resulting in smooth and realistic mass movement. This ensures a lifelike training experience when using the Ruth Lee Bariatric Manikin.

Hospitals, care homes, and other institutions must include the safe evacuation of all patients and residents in their emergency plans. At the same time, obesity is a growing global problem, which means attention must also be given to the safe evacuation of larger individuals in emergency situations. The Ruth Lee Bariatric Manikin is the best solution for testing and learning various rescue techniques and equipment for such scenarios.

The Bariatric Manikin is made from the same durable material used in bullet- and stab-proof vests by police forces. It is four times stronger and more wear-resistant than 550 g (16oz) cotton canvas or PVC (meets OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, BS EN ISO 12947-2 & 14116:2008 standards).

Recommended: Add a shoutbox (interactive loudspeaker) to your emergency scenario involving a casualty, along with face masks for manikins to make your training even more realistic!

Like other Ruth Lee adult-size manikins, the bariatric model can be used to practice correct techniques for fitting an extrication collar in realistic scenarios.

Ruth Lee’s bariatric product range includes manikins weighing 50 kg, 90 kg, 180 kg, and 260 kg. The 90 kg model is a great choice when you need a heavyset, but not extremely overweight, “patient.” There is also a water-fillable bariatric suit available—read more about it here or inquire at info@mohni.eu.
