Basic GERi™ Nursing Skills Elderly-Care Manikin

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

The Basic GERi™ Nursing Skills Elderly-Care Manikin (Item No. 1005620 / W44077, MPN: LF04040U) is a full-size, lifelike elderly-care simulation manikin from Nasco / Lifecast Body Simulation, USA — purpose-built for nursing colleges, ANM/GNM programmes, BSc Nursing and post-basic nursing institutes, and hospital in-service training departments in India where geriatric patient care competency is a core curriculum requirement. At 10.785 kg and 147 cm (58 inches), the GERi™ is a realistic, manageable training body that moves like a person — with a full, non-pinching range of motion that allows trainees to practice safe patient handling exactly as they would on a ward.

The GERi™ features an authentic elderly appearance with skin wrinkles and folds, making it the only nursing manikin that prepares students for the specific visual cues and handling considerations of older patient care. The manikin defaults to female presentation and converts to male with removal of the wig and attachment of the included male genitalia — making it suitable for both female and male geriatric patient care training without the need for two separate manikins.

Visual Inspection Skills:
Four distinct visual findings are presented on the body for skin assessment training — a normal mole and a cancerous mole (for lesion differentiation), a Stage 1 sacral pressure ulcer (for early-stage pressure injury recognition), dilated and constricted pupils (for neurological and medication-effect assessment), and reddened skin folds (for moisture-associated skin damage identification).
