Prestan Products Professional CPR Manikin

The science is solid, and the field implementation is showing positive results. “Push hard, push fast, full recoil” CPR works. The new Professional CPR Manikin from Prestan Products has an easy-to-understand red, yellow and green lighting system that provides instant feedback to both the student and instructor regarding the speed of compressions. A clicker in the chest provides audible feedback for proper depth of compressions. Pliable skin, a pinchable nose, realistic anatomical landmarks and immediate interactive feedback aid students in learning. Cleaning is easy thanks to the revolutionary composite skin, the clamshell design and an easy-to-insert face shield/lung bag. The patented “head-tilt/chin-lift” ensures proper airway technique and provides great chest rise during bag-valve mask and mouth-to-mask ventilations, making this manikin the future of CPR training.
