Realistic representation

The R42 bariatric training manikin has been named with respect to studies* showing that an estimated 42% of US adults aged 20 and over have obesity.

She has been designed to support both the unique and nuanced training needs for this increasing and to date, under-represented patient population in simulation training programs.

* Results from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)

Multi-disciplinary Patient Care

The R42 Bariatric Training Manikin represents a 145kg (320 lbs) female patient.

From nursing and EMS moving and handling scenarios to the operating room and the ward, her lifelike features provide an accurate training experience for quality patient care along the complete patient pathway.

Advanced Airway Management

Allows for the practice of intubation with chest rise, ensuring that healthcare professionals are well-prepared for various difficult airway scenarios.

The manikin’s airway will take an endotracheal tube and supraglottic airways such as LMA and Igel.

She can be ventilated manually with a Bag Valve Mask or mechanically with a ventilator.

Urinary Catheterization Skills

This  important feature allows for the realistic practice of catheterization, an essential skill in patient care.

Intravenous Catheterization

IV arm with the ability to administer fluid.

Intramuscular Injection Points

Simulate the administration of IM drugs via air injection only.

Limited Neck Movement

With limited lateral, flexion and rotational range of motion, trainees can optimize their bariatric healthcare practice by experiencing anatomical challenges and learn to adapt care plans.

Difficulties in jaw thrust maneuvers can be simulated with the manikin’s limited neck extension and flexion.

Realistic Articulated Limbs

The manikin’s arms and legs simulate the weight and challenges of moving and handling bariatric patients.
