Realistic training aids for fire services

A Laerdal Medical product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Feb 21, 2003

Practical training is the ideal way to give fire officers the experience of dealing effectively and safely with real life casualties.

Laerdal Medical has a range of realistic and cost effective training manikins, accessories and aids that are used extensively by Fire and Rescue Services and medical training centres all over the UK.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service uses a substantial amount of Laerdal training equipment in its training centre and also in the nine Area Commands within the County.

Sub officer instructor Chris Clegg is delighted with the products.

"Laerdal's training aids allow students to practice without compromise, gaining experience by using a relatively life-like manikin in a range of simulated scenarios".

""We have purchased none Rescusi Anne manikins that will be sent out to all nine Area Commands for additional Station CPR training, and we also have a number of accessories that we use for more extensive training in CPR, airway management, bleeding control and limb traumas".

"It is vital for fire officers to be proficient in the safe and quick rescue of people in emergencies.

"Although there is a difference between live and simulated casualties, Laerdal's training manikins and add-on modules help to give a good basic understanding of the best way to treat casualty victims in real life".

To depict a wide range of traumas and scenarios, the Resusci Anne Modular System (RAMS) allows you to tailor make your manikin to meet the diversity of training needs.

Other training models are available from Little Anne, the simple, low cost CPR manikin to Tuff Kelly, realistically weighted manikins.
