Children under the age of 4 are statistically at the highest risk of drowning. We believe one death is too many.
Allowing rescue professionals to train in the most realistic way possible is key to reducing the number of drowning deaths. Like its adult counterpart, the Advanced Water Rescue Toddler replicates hydrostatic squeeze, which means water will not enter the lung system, but you can choose to add water allowing for both submerged or immersed drowning scenarios to be simulated and emergencies such as pulmonary oedema taught.
It is vital for clinical care training to take place in an environment where it will take place for real. Unlike anything else available to rescue teams, this toddler manikin will allow you to simulate difficult rescue scenarios of a drowned toddler. Once out of the water, continue with essential medical care, letting rescuers and medical trainees learn how to manage this situation in a more realistic way.
The Toddler's rugged Ruth Lee outer body aids buoyancy in all waters, and it will float in a drowned position for ultra-realistic rescues. Foam pads also let you adjust the buoyancy for submerged rescues (though we advise that you use the tether point in open water to ensure you don't lose it!).
The torso of the manikin is an ultra-realistic male form, with all the anatomical features you’d expect from a toddler medical simulation manikin for airway management skills.
Just like the Adult Advanced Water Rescue manikin, the Toddler is a collaboration between Ruth Lee and the medical simulation experts at Lifecast Body Simulation.
