Ruth Lee™ Ligature Training Manikin

In high risk environments, or institutions which house vulnerable people such as Mental Health Hospitals, Learning Disability Centres, Police Stations, Prisons, Care Homes, suicide by hanging is tragically high. Staff who might face and need to manage suicides and self-harm on a regular basis, need the correct training to safely manage this.

Training includes the use of a hook knife to properly release a ligature and this specialist manikin has been designed to allow teams to learn to effectively and sensitively manage this situation.

This Ruth Lee™ manikin has anatomical features which allow you to practice airway management skills, with the hope of reviving someone who has been found hanging. An innovative product from Ruth Lee to support professional careers and staff from the Emergency Services to safely and sensitively handle ligature suicides.

The manikin is 1.8 m and weighs 25 kg,  overalls are constructed from the same flame retardant material used in Police ballistic/stab vests, offering 4x the strength and abrasion resistance of 16 oz canvas or P.V.C.
