Equipment
Laerdal training manikins
All our Laerdal training manikins have realistic
anatomical parts and airway construction. The airway
naturally remains obstructed without the use of
proper head tilt, chin lift or jaw thrust.
Act Fast Anti Choking Trainer
The Act Fast Anti Choking Trainer is
worn by students in CPR class to
learn the Abdominal Thrust
Manoeuvre ( Heimlich ). When
performed correctly, a foam plug
shoots into the air, making instruction
realistic and leaving students
confident. In addition it also includes
a foam Back Pad for practicing back
blows.
Tourniquets
A range of tourniquets are used that represent the
current selection available. We use a CAT and a SOF-T.
If you want to know what these acronyms stand for, and
which is which, scroll down to the bottom of the page for
the answer.
It is also important to know how to improvise a
tourniquet. When a major incident occurs, many lives
can be saved by using everyday things like cutlery to
improvise a tourniquet.
AED training
Three different full size training
AEDs are available for
use during first aid training.
The prompts are identical to
the real thing, and the variety
is invaluable to give the
students confidence in
operating any new device that
is available to them.
Haemostatic dressings
A foam block with fake wounds cut
into the foam is used to
demonstrate and practice packing
a wound with a haemostatic
dressing. A z-fold crepe bandage
is used to simulate a haemostatic
dressing, with sample packs of
haemostatic dressings being
made available so the learner can
readily identify one.
