Who Can Use This Manikin?
Specially designed for the teaching of CPR, this dummy can be used by anyone wanting to learn the safe practice and application of CPR on pregnant and obese patients.

- Medical students
- Carers at care homes
- First aid staff at offices
- Teachers at schools

How Is This Different from the Adult Choking Manikin?
Pregnant women and overweight people have limited anatomical features that are visible due to their size. In this case, the rib cage remains hidden by excess fatty tissue over the abdomen and pectorals. As such, the dimensions of this obese manikin are much larger than the standard adult manikin.
How Does the Obese Choking Manikin Work?
This Obese Choking Manikin from Simulaids is supplied with two choking hazards that are attached via a string necklace for easy accessibility. These choking hazards imitate a small hot-dog slice and a hardboiled sweet which, when lodged in a manikin's throat, allow for the demonstration and practice of CPR techniques and manoeuvres like abdominal thrusts and back blows. Users are able to choose where to position their hands and can use the anatomical landmarks on the dummy for guidance. If correct CPR procedures are performed, the dummy will expel the object from its airway.
What Can I Practise with the Obese Choking Manikin?
Designed using specially selected vinyl that is made to appear as life-like as possible, this large adult head and torso manikin allows for the following manoeuvres:
- Abdominal thrust
- Chest thrust
- Back blow procedures for clearing foreign body airway obstruction
What Anatomical Reference Points Are Included?
To help with the demonstration of hand placement for CPR techniques, this Simulaids CPR Resuscitation Obese Choking Manikin features the following anatomical reference points for user guidance:
- Ribcage
- Suprasternal notch
- Xiphoid process
How Long Will the Manikin Last?
Manufactured using high-quality materials, this Simulaids Manikin is made to provide durable demonstration and application of CPR for extended use. The manikin is also supplied with three-year warranty for your peace of mind.
How Can I Clean This Manikin?
To clean this manikin between use, the head and torso can be washed in warm, soapy water before rinsing thoroughly and leaving to air dry. You should take care not to allow water to enter the internal parts of the foam filled manikin.
