Tragically, death by suicide is an increasing problem in society and this manikin has been designed to help professionals to train to face this situation in an effective and sensitive way.
In high risk environments, or institutions which house vulnerable people such as Mental Health Hospitals, Learning Disability Centres, Police Stations, Prisons, Care Homes, suicide by hanging is tragically high. Staff who might face and need to manage suicides and self-harm on a regular basis, need the correct training to safely manage this. Training includes the use of a hook knife to properly release a ligature and this specialist manikin has been designed to allow teams to learn to effectively and sensitively manage this situation.
This manikin has anatomical features which allow you to practise airway management skills, with the hope of reviving someone who has been found hanging.
IDEAL FOR THE FOLLOWING TRAINING SCENARIOS:
Institutions within Mental Health or Learning Disabilities, Police, Prisons, Care Homes and other high risk environments who face and need to manage risk of suicide and self-harm on a regular basis, must equip their staff with the right training to safely and sensitively manage hanging scenarios when they occur, including the use of a hook knife to properly release a ligature.
