SCROLLING DROWNING SIMULATOR MANUAL
Submerging the manikin creates an amount of water in the oropharynx, the middle part of the throat behind the mouth, which can be removed using manual or suction methods. Once rescued from water, the mechanism releases, creating movement of the lungs and chest. When in water, the hydrostatic squeeze (the pressure of the water) closes a valve within the manikin lung mechanics. The most exciting feature of the Advanced Water Rescue manikin is its working pair of 'lungs', designed to replicate real human lungs. The £25,000 manikin, which is patent pending, has taken two years of research and development to perfect 'It means rescue teams can be trained for the skills they will need in the real world.' One of the freakishly realistic manikins depicts a baby, and can be used to train medical staff in the UK 'It has been specially designed to be rescued from water and allows for lifesaving intervention with the realism of noises and respiratory issues encountered in the real world. 'Our innovative product, made in collaboration with Lifecast Body Simulation, is the first to allow teams to provide true continuation of care. The company's aim is to create these scarily life-like human manikins - even down to the microscopic details One of the manikins created by Lifecast Body Simulation - a company that creates medical-grade manikins to simulate real-life patients in the training of medical staff 'Special Forces teams asked us to create a world first drowning manikin for them to allow both rescue and critical care training,' said Paul McDonnell, managing director of Ruth Lee, which is based in Corwen, North Wales. He's currently patent-pending and is being tested by several UK organisations – Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Bristow Search and Rescue, several Ambulance Hazardous Area Response Paramedic teams and the Maritime Skills Academy. According to the developers, no other rescue manikin provides this level of realism with opportunities to practice rescue skills. Carl has been created by equipment supplier Ruth Lee, in collaboration with Lifecast Body Simulation. The £25,000 manikin, which has taken two years of research and development to perfect, is helping train staff at Royal National Lifeboat Institution and other organisations to help them save people from drowning in the real world. He comes equipped with a mechanism that reacts when submerged in water to close the breathing passage to the lungs. One of the manikins, the Advanced Water Rescue manikin, also known as Carl, is designed to mimic a drowned person in water and can float like an unconscious person or can even partially or fully sink. 'With an ever evolving range, please explore our pre-term and newborn babies, children and adults both young and old - all available with a wide range of ethnicity options. MANIKIN OR MANNEQUIN? Lifecast Body Simulation explained: 'Every manikin demonstrates incredible realism and the very highest quality. Lifecast Body Simulation models like this one even replicate tattoos and intricate details such as nose hairs The skilled team can customise the manikins to have incredible human-like details, including nose hair, wrinkles and even tattoos. They've been developed by UK-based Lifecast Body Simulation, which employs special effects experts who have worked on films such as X Men, Casino Royale and Rambo. The dummies come in a range of ages, including 'micro-preemie' babies, infants, adults and senior adults. The manikin is being used to train medical staff in the UK, and is described as the 'world's most realistic teaching tool.
