Ruth Lee Body Recovery Training Manikin

Ruth Lee Body Recovery Training Manikin

A pre-established protocol is essential for victim retrieval – the body recovery manikin was predominately designed to aid Police dive teams train to recover bodies from any inland waters or under the ice.

The manikin is a variant of the popular Water Rescue manikin – but instead of floating, it sinks. By balancing the buoyancy against the ballast the manikin weighs 50kg on land but only 10kg underwater.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Anatomically correct weight distribution allows for realistic body ‘bagging’ as part of training exercises.
• This manikin will easily withstand a fall of 5 – 6 meters into the water with no damage – they are tough!
• Constructed using a H/D reinforced Nylon mesh for the carcass and non-absorbent closed-cell foam for buoyancy – mesh allows water to flood into the body to allow it to sink and out as it is being recovered.
• Mesh allows for ventilation when the manikin is hung up to dry – a polypropylene loop to the back of the carcass allows the manikin to be lowered into position or hung up to dry.
• The addition of a realistic face and a wig enables easier/quicker identification of the body in poor viability when the search is by touch only.
• Polyethylene strips running from the shoulders to the knees allow flexibility but prevent the manikin from bending in half when using stretchers or recovery devices.
• Replaceable coveralls and boots are easily replaceable and greatly extend the life of the manikin
