Lifebuoy Bariatric Overweight

Lifebuoy Bariatric Overweight

We now have a model of the overweight rescue manikin. It is designed for a team of at least 4-6 rescuers, equipped with a carrying sheet to be used to carry and position the rescue manikin horizontally.

Obesity is a very real problem and according to statistics it only seems to be getting worse. Rescuers must decide how they will handle casualties of this size. This rescue manikin will enable a realistic training situation.

A lot of work has been done to achieve a “fluid movement” of the body instead of just a heavy lump, to make it as realistic as possible. The fluid movement is achieved by distributing 1/2 kg weights in pockets across the surface of the lifebuoy.

This is a rescue doll for teamwork.
