Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Geriatric male silicone torso with an internal mesh that prevents tearing, designed to be combined with one of the geriatric facial overlays. It can be worn by both manikins and standardised patients and is used in training for care homes and geriatric services.

It fits trauma manikins such as Crash Kelly, ALS or others of a similar size well; it is small on a SimMan but works well with the sides and back covered by clothing. If ordered together with a facial overlay or a belly, they share the same colour and make-up and the pieces can be joined so there are no edges to disguise. Stick-on wound sheets can be used to add wounds or infections.
