Bariatric Rescue Suit

Bariatric Rescue Suit 1500 by Simulaids was developed to fill a need in the handling of large patients. These Training Manikins evolved after Simulaids was approached by a physician after he was involved with a difficult house extrication of a rather large patient. It became evident that standard patient handling techniques were not suitable for the extrication of morbidly obese patients. The physical limitations of the buildings in which some of these patients reside also required special consideration.

The Bariatric Rescue Manikin Suit replicates the weight and the movement in body tissue associated with morbidly obese patients. This simulation is made possible by an “exo-suit” which allows the user to add up to 440 lbs. of water. When the exercise is complete, the water can be simply drained away thus making the manikin more “portable.” In its dehydrated version, the manikin can be easily transported between locations. The Bariatric Suit fits only the Rescue Randy 1338 original 5 ft. 5", bald manikins which also can be fitted with Casualty Simulation Moulages that will give your traininig simulations an added dimension.

This suit is for manikin use only. This suit must be filled with water and is not suitable as a Water Rescue Manikin. Another Alternative to this Bariatric Manikin may be the 400lb Bariatric Trainer from Ruth Lee.

Rescue Randy 1338 Manikin is not included
