Buying a CPR manikin: where do you start?

Our range of CPR manikins is extensive, and the right choice mainly depends on where and how intensively you will be using the manikin. In our selection, you will find manikins ranging from simple models for a one-off course to highly advanced manikins for professional medical training. When choosing a training manikin, it is wise to consider the feedback options. Some manikins provide feedback on the depth and rate of chest compressions, which accelerates the learning process for students.

Well-known brands: comparing Laerdal, Ambu, and Brayden

Within the world of CPR training, Laerdal, Ambu, and Brayden are the most established names. Laerdal is known for the Resusci Anne and its innovative QCPR technology, which provides insight into training performance via an app. Ambu often distinguishes itself through its unique hygiene system and the robust construction of its manikins. Meanwhile, Brayden manikins are easily recognizable by their red LED lighting that illuminates during resuscitation training.

Practicing adult, child, and infant CPR

A comprehensive CPR training requires variety, as the anatomy of an infant or child differs significantly from that of an adult. That is why you will also find infant and pediatric manikins in our range. For instructors who train larger groups, our (family) multi-packs are an excellent choice. They provide you with multiple manikins at once, often delivered in a convenient carrying bag. This allows you to create a realistic setting where multiple students can practice simultaneously.

Advanced feedback for improved technique

Modern CPR manikins do much more than just compress. Many manikins are equipped with sensors that connect via Bluetooth to a smartphone or tablet. This so-called QCPR feedback shows precisely whether the CPR is effective. This not only makes training more engaging and interactive, but also ensures that students leave the course with peace of mind, knowing their technique is up to standard.

Completing your CPR manikin with accessories

To ensure hygienic practice with a CPR manikin, you will need items such as extra face skins and lung bags. A good carrying bag or a kneeling pad for the student also enhances comfort during training. In the overview above, you will find the corresponding accessories for each model. This makes it easy to put together a complete set so you can get started right away.
