PRODUCT LAUNCH DATE : January 4, 2023
Children under the age of 4 are statistically the most at risk of drowning.
The new Ruth Lee aquatic dummy takes the very realistic shape of a child between 1 and 4 years old.
It allows for continuous training without the need for material changes.
Experience shows that the realism of the material and the situation significantly increases the trainees’ stress and involvement levels and thus better prepares them for a real situation.
A realistic mannequin
Enabling rescue professionals to train in the most realistic way possible is essential to reducing drowning deaths.
The Infant Water Rescue Manikin replicates hydrostatic compression, which means that water does not enter the pulmonary system, but you can choose to add water, which allows you to simulate submersion or immersion drowning scenarios and teach conditions like pulmonary edema.
The mannequin torso is an ultra-realistic male form, with all the anatomical features you’d expect from a toddler medical simulation mannequin for airway management skills.
For use in real-life conditions
It is vital for clinical care training to take place in an environment that is as close to real-world conditions as possible. Unlike anything else available to rescue teams, this manikin will allow you to simulate complex rescue scenarios of a drowned toddler. Once out of the water, continue essential medical care, allowing rescuers and medical trainees to learn how to handle this situation in a more realistic way.
The manikin’s rugged outer body promotes buoyancy in all waters, and it floats in a drowned position for ultra-realistic rescues. Foam pads also allow you to adjust buoyancy for submerged rescues.
Experience shows that the realism of the equipment and the situation significantly increases the stress levels and involvement of the trainees and thus better prepares them for a real situation.
The realism of the face and torso
Allows for water rescue training in medical procedures (intubation, cardiac massage, breathing mask etc.)
The realism of the weight and the sensation of “wearing” a human body
To date, lifeguards train with uniformly colored plastic torsos, without arms or legs.
This new dummy allows them to take their training to a whole new level: from getting out of the water to first aid medical procedures with the same dummy, allowing them to perform all the technical procedures as in a real intervention.
For the trainees, the realistic aspect of the face and torso allows them to be confronted more closely with the emotional aspects of rescuing a child.
Since 2002, HYDROTOP has been selling, distributing and installing fire and rescue equipment.
