Emergency care training manikin RLNLAW/TOR

airway management

In high risk environments, or institutions which house vulnerable people such as Mental Health Hospitals, Learning Disability Centres, Police Stations, Prisons, Care Homes, suicide by hanging is tragically high. Staff who might face and need to manage suicides and self-harm on a regular basis, need the correct training to safely manage this. Training includes the use of a hook knife to properly release a ligature and this specialist manikin has been designed to allow teams to learn to effectively and sensitively manage this situation. This manikin has anatomical features which allow you to practise airway management skills, with the hope of reviving someone who has been found hanging. FEATURES & BENEFITS: The manikin has anatomical landmarks including the sternum, rib cage, and substernal notch. The trainer also contains teeth, uvula, vocal cords, glottis, epiglottis, larynx, arytenoid cartilage, trachea, oesophagus, inflatable lungs and stomach. It allows for placement of a nasogastric tube and accepts Combitube®, E.O.A., E.G.T.A., P.T.L. and i-gel® airways. Realistic knee joints promoting correct manual handling techniques including preservation of the C-spine. Special D-ring feature enables easy suspension without damaging the manikin.
