The evidence is clear: women are less likely to receive help during cardiac arrest. The stigma surrounding the female body should never be a factor when a life is on the line. The reluctance to assist women in life-threatening situations often stems from misconceptions or discomfort around the female body. This hesitation can significantly delay CPR, which is crucial for survival.
The introduction of PRESTAN’s NEW anatomically correct Female Manikin is an important step toward addressing this issue.
By providing a more realistic training tool, they help learners gain confidence in performing CPR on women. Detailed anatomical features, like breast contours, ensure correct hand placement, creating a lifelike scenario. This approach helps challenge the biases that may contribute to gender-based disparities in emergency assistance.
Following the training guidelines and paired with MCR’s Deluxe first responder kit, we can now better simulate critical actions, such as removing the shirt, cutting or removing the bra, and applying AED pads, ensuring a more accurate and comprehensive training experience.
Just like all of the PRESTAN products we’ve grown to admire, you can be assured you’re receiving a high-quality, fully functional training tool.
Features include:
- Realistic looking manikin with a pinch-able nose and fully formed neck portion that allows for a carotid pulse check.
- Easy-to-insert lung bag speeds setup of the manikin.
- Realistic skin resists dirt, grime and grease.
- Adequate upper chest sizing facilitates AED training.
- Accurately represent female anatomy
- Visual anatomy ‘landmarks’ such as a navel and ribcage allow for practice of the Heimlich maneuver and reinforce proper hand placement for quality CPR compressions.
- Head-tilt illustrates how to open the airway and allows each student to observe a true chest rise when proper head-tilt chin-lift technique is used.
- Clicker mechanism increases student’s confidence in administering adequate compressions.
- Manikins are capable of being cleaned and decontaminated per CDC guidelines.
- Three-year factory warranty against defects in workmanship
