Adolescent Choking Torso

The Adolescent Choking Manikin functions on the principle of clearing a blocked airway with forced air generated with the proper procedure – abdominal thrusts or back blows. Once the object is lodged in the airway, the student must use the anatomical landmarks to decide where to place their hands and how much pressure is required to accomplish the maneuver. With the appropriate force applied, the students are rewarded with the visual confirmation of an expelled object.

Adolescent Choking Manikin features:
• Rib cage
• Xiphoid process
• Suprasternal notch to provide anatomical reference
• Two foreign bodies for airway obstruction
• Shirt, and soft carry bag. Clothing and bag are fabric U.S.A.

Made of durable vinyl to create tactile realism.
Size: 24″ x 14″ x 9″

Why Choose the Adolescent Choking Torso for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Adolescent Choking Torso (Item No. 1005750 / W44583, MPN: 100-1615U / PP01615U / SB30051U) by Nasco Healthcare, USA is a 4.1 kg, 58 × 35 × 20 cm choking response training manikin built around a single training principle: clearing a blocked airway with forced air generated through correct technique — abdominal thrusts or back blows. Two foreign bodies are provided for airway obstruction training. The training mechanism is direct consequence feedback: the trainee must use the anatomical landmarks to decide correct hand placement and the force required, and only when the correct technique and pressure are applied is the object expelled — providing immediate, unambiguous confirmation of correct performance. For schools, first-aid certification centres, lifeguard training programmes, and BLS courses in India that need to teach choking response on adolescent patients with built-in performance feedback, this torso is purpose-built for that training objective.

The anatomical landmark set — rib cage, xiphoid process, and suprasternal notch — provides the correct surface reference points for abdominal thrust hand placement (above the navel, below the xiphoid process) and back blow positioning, the two techniques recommended for clearing a foreign body airway obstruction. Made of durable vinyl for tactile realism that withstands repeated training cycles, the torso is supplied with a shirt and soft carry bag, both fabric, made in the USA. The pass/fail nature of the expelled-object feedback makes this torso effective for both initial skills teaching and competency assessment — instructors can observe directly whether a trainee’s technique successfully clears the obstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does this torso confirm correct technique?
A: Two foreign bodies are placed in the airway. When the trainee applies correct abdominal thrust or back blow technique with adequate force, the object is visibly expelled — providing direct pass/fail feedback on technique.

Q: What is included with the torso?
A: A shirt and soft carry bag, both fabric and made in the USA, are included alongside the two foreign bodies for airway obstruction training.

Q: What is the warranty and how do I get support?
A: All Nasco Healthcare products carry standard manufacturer warranty. For support, reach us at [email protected] or call +91-88495 63724.
