Basic GERi™ Nursing Skills Elderly-Care Manikin

Why Choose the Basic GERi™ Nursing Skills Elderly-Care Manikin for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Basic GERi™ Nursing Skills Elderly-Care Manikin (Item No. 1005620 / W44077, MPN: LF04040U) by Nasco Healthcare, USA is a full-size, lightweight elderly-care simulation manikin weighing 10.785 kg and measuring 94 × 52 × 28 cm. Designed with realistic aged skin — including wrinkles, skin folds, and age-appropriate anatomical proportions — GERi™ provides nursing students and healthcare trainees with a lifelike platform for practising the full breadth of basic elderly patient care skills. For NMC-mandated clinical skills labs, geriatric nursing training programmes, hospital in-service education teams, and nursing colleges across India seeking a dedicated geriatric manikin at the Basic tier, GERi™ is the entry point into the Life/form® GERi™ range.

India’s ageing population places increasing demands on nurses and caregivers who must be competent in elderly-specific care. Training on a manikin that accurately replicates the physical characteristics of an older adult — including reduced skin elasticity, realistic joint range of motion, and age-appropriate anatomy — prepares trainees for the realities of caring for elderly patients in ways that a standard adult manikin cannot.

The Basic GERi™ supports a wide range of training scenarios. For visual inspection training, the manikin presents a normal and cancerous mole, a Stage 1 sacral pressure ulcer, dilated and constricted pupils, and reddened skin folds — giving trainees practice in identifying clinically significant skin and ocular findings. For patient care simulation, the manikin supports bandaging and wound dressing, bed baths, clothing changes, denture placement and removal (upper and lower), ear canal irrigation, otic drop administration and hearing aid placement, eye irrigation, finger and toe manipulation with bandaging, hair care (washing and combing), intramuscular injection at arm, thigh, and buttock sites, oral and nasal hygiene including lavage, gavage and suctioning, ostomy care covering ileostomy and colostomy tissue maintenance and appliance application, patient positioning, patient transfer techniques, pericare, and tracheostomy care with lavage and suctioning. The manikin presents as female by default and converts to male with removal of the wig and attachment of the included male genitalia. Joints are non-pinching and move like a real person, supporting realistic patient positioning and transfer practice. The Basic GERi™ is ideal for OBRA-required training. Carry case is not included.

For institutions requiring advanced capabilities, GERi™ is also available in Complete (adds urinary catheterisation, nasogastric tube placement, gastrostomy, enema, pap smear, and prostate exam), Advanced (adds IV insertion and blood pressure monitoring), and Auscultation (adds heart and lung sound recognition) configurations.
