What is a Patient Care Manikin?

Patient care manikins are models that simulate real, life-size patients. They provide users with the unique opportunity to develop proficiency in core clinical skills with lifelike patients. These include patient and personal care, medical care and specialised nursing skills.

They can be purchased as a whole body manikin with flexible, natural movement in the limbs and torso, or as individualised limbs or organs. All patient care manikins are made of durable, water-resistant materials for longevity through examinations and training procedures.
