With Ambulance and Rescue teams facing an increasing number of obese patients and the tighter OH&S rules designed to protect the backs of the rescuers the need to train for the handling of these casualties has become very important.

 
This is the only true bariatric dummy available in the World.  It weighs 180Kg - and now 260kg !! Designed for a team of at least 4-6 people to rescue.

It is supplied complete with a carrying sheet (pictured) to assist in carrying and positioning the dummy.

To achieve a 'fluidity of movement' with the weight rather than just producing a heavy 'lump' was the challenge.  The team at Ruth Lee used all their talent and experience to design a solution which works. 

Realistic to work with, the fluidity of movement is created by distributing the weight in 1/2 Kg weight in pockets around the dummy in a number of layers.

The Bariatric dummy is based around a 100Kg General Purpose dummy with a further 5 layers over the top, these being a mixture of the weighted layers and foam cushioning layers that enables the weight to slide from side to side; the effect is actually very realistic.

This is a real 'team effort' dummy ! Now used primarily in Australia by Ambulance Services and hospital manual handling teams.
