Description

Expose your students to the unique physical and emotional complexities of caring for bariatric patients. By wearing the adult obesity suit, students can develop appreciation and empathy for the challenges bariatric patients face when attempting to perform basic activities of daily living.

With this new perspective, the practitioner will be more aware of the special needs of overweight people when caring for them and tailoring their treatment.

The obesity suit fits adult mannequins from leading providers, as well as standardised patients, students and instructors.
