Discover the Mountain Rescue Training Manikin, a manikin designed for the simulation of rescue scenarios in locations that are difficult to access, such as the mountains and during an avalanche. The manikin is ideal for the use of a wide range of professionals, e.g., UK mountain rescue teams, avalanche rescue teams in alpine regions and equivalent organisations across North America, Europe, Australia & Asia.

The manikin is professionally designed for the use of mountain search and rescue professionals and has built in RECCO reflectors that are detectable by transceivers. These reflectors are extensively used by avalanche rescue teams in over 800 ski resorts globally. Secure pockets are available to protect the electronic transceivers. Additionally, the manikin is lightweight, therefore can be easily mobilised to different locations.

The same flame-retardant material found in Police ballistic/stab vests has been used for the construction of the manikin, making it durable and tough. The soft body joints eliminate the risks of pinch welts and bruising, which can happen when using plastic bodied manikins. Although the material is flame-retardant, use of the manikin in temperatures above 100 degrees or flashover scenarios should be avoided. It is also not suited for use in water.

The Mountain Rescue Training Manikin has been additionally filled with foam to mimic the bulk and firmness of a body and demonstrate a ‘spongy resistance’ when probed for a realistic experience. Users can be trained to check for obstruction of the airways, as it comes with life-like facial features and a mouth cavity. Proper casualty care can be promoted with the utilisation of an immobilisation/extrication collar which can be fitted around its neck.

Overall, this manikin is an essential addition to rescue training sessions and is versatile for use in different difficult to access locations.
