Barry (light skin) and Benny (dark skin) are modular training mannequins that weigh 25 stone (350 lbs/159 kgs), yet are easy to disassemble to move or store with no single component weighing more than 16 kg.
Barry/Benny has been designed to assist the manual handling training of healthcare workers, emergency personnel and many others enabling them to safely and efficiently manoeuvre or rescue plus-size people whilst maintaining the patient’s dignity.
Bariquins overcome the disadvantages that current mannequins of a similar weight have. They don’t require a team of trained people to haul the mannequin to and from the training area, nor do they need filling with water (and emptying) in situ.
The cost of the Bariquin will soon be recouped compared to using a real-life model - and Barry won’t get tired or embarrassed during training.
Barry is made up of 15 weighted parts, a jacket plus the realistic-looking head, hands and feet. His heaviest component is designed to be less than 16 kgs -that’s much less than the weight of your flight suitcase. And with two handles stitched securely to the more substantial parts, they are easier to carry too.
Student Feedback: Feedback was gathered from 13 students. Overall, they liked the trainer and would recommend it to their peers for learning blood glucose testing. They found the trainer easy to use and helpful in demonstrating the procedure. The students felt that the trainer added significant value to their training, with the main benefit being an increased competency in blood glucose testing.
Lecturer Feedback: Feedback was collected from 7 lecturers. Most of them found the trainer to be authentic and effective in simulating the challenges of blood sugar testing. They appreciated that it encouraged patient communication, which is a great plus. The product was of good quality and reliable for teaching purposes. However, there was a minor issue with the finger becoming leaky after multiple uses. Despite this, the lecturers agreed that the trainer prepares students well for real-world blood glucose testing.
Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
