Bridging the gap in bariatric patient healthcare training
The R42 Bariatric Nursing Manikin offers a diverse and inclusive representation of patients addressing the gap in realistic training for bariatric and obese individuals.
It has been designed to support healthcare professionals’ preparedness to care for a broad spectrum of patients, fostering empathy and competence.
Realistic representation
The R42 Bariatric Nursing Manikin represents a 145kg (320 lbs) female patient. From paramedic and EMS moving and handling scenarios to the operating room and the ward, its 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.
Urinary Catheterization Skills
This important feature allows for the realistic practice of catheterization, an essential skill in patient care.
IV Catheterization
Including the ability to give fluid.
Intramuscular Injection Points
Simulates the administering of IM drugs.
The manikin’s arms and legs simulate the weight and challenges of caring for a bariatric patient as they transfer through the clinical care pathway. The highly realistic limb articulation means that the R42 manikin may be positioned in lithotomy, prone and catheterization positions, as well as positioning within the operating room.
The manikin can sit upright on a chair or bed allowing for training in patient positioning.
Simulating bed sores and infections is important for the trainee when learning patient assessment skills.
