Build and evaluate basic patient care and nurse aid competencies!
The Patient Care Manikin BASIC for simulation in healthcare was developed for scenario based training of basic patient care and nursing skills.
The patient care manikin simulates an adult, life-size patient, with interchangeable genitals. It can be positioned like a real patient with natural movement of the arms, legs, and joints. You can even make the manikin sit upright in the bed for treatments. It is made of durable, unbreakable, and water-resistant plastics for longevity in the everyday training use.
