Life/form® Overweight Fred Manikin – White

Students always wonder how CPR manikins will compare with real victims, especially those who are older or obese. This unique manikin helps to prepare students to respond to a more typical cardiac arrest event with a victim who is elderly and overweight. Features: elderly physical appearance, large body type with extra “fat” layer, realistic head tilt and chin lift for opening the airway, and palpable and visual anatomical landmarks, including the sternum, rib cage, and substernal notch. The airway can be manipulated to simulate airway obstruction or choking situations. Also includes three mouth/nose pieces, three disposable lung/airway systems, and a convenient carrying bag.

Why Choose the Life/form® Overweight Fred Manikin – White for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Life/form® Overweight Fred Manikin – White (Item No. 1005685 / W44233, MPN: LF03750U) by Nasco Healthcare, USA is an 8.028 kg CPR training manikin specifically designed to prepare students for a more typical real-world cardiac arrest scenario — an elderly, overweight patient — rather than the standard young, fit-bodied manikin most CPR training is conducted on. For BLS certification centres, ACLS training centres, hospital in-service programmes, and nursing institutes in India, this manikin closes a well-documented training gap: students consistently report uncertainty about how standard CPR manikins compare to real cardiac arrest victims, who are disproportionately older and overweight.

Overweight Fred presents an elderly physical appearance with a large body type and an extra “fat” layer that changes the physical compression experience compared to a standard manikin — training the additional force and altered hand placement geometry that obese patient CPR genuinely requires. Realistic head tilt and chin lift open the airway, and palpable and visual anatomical landmarks — sternum, rib cage, and substernal notch — remain identifiable despite the additional body tissue, training students to locate correct hand placement even when surface landmarks are less immediately obvious than on a standard manikin. The airway can be manipulated to simulate airway obstruction or choking situations, extending the manikin’s use into choking-response training for elderly and overweight patients specifically. Includes three mouth/nose pieces, three disposable lung/airway systems, and a convenient carrying bag.

Genuine OEM replacement parts are available to extend this manikin’s service life: the Replacement Foam (1018481 / LF03777U) restores the corpulent body shape and compression resistance, and the Replacement Sternum (1018479 / LF03776U) restores the structural CPR compression mechanics — both genuine Nasco Healthcare parts specifically for this manikin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why train on an overweight, elderly manikin specifically?
A: Real-world cardiac arrest victims are disproportionately older and overweight compared to the standard young, fit-bodied CPR manikin most training uses. Overweight Fred prepares students for the physical reality of CPR on a more typical patient.

Q: What replacement parts are available?
A: The Replacement Foam (1018481 / LF03777U) restores the corpulent body shape, and the Replacement Sternum (1018479 / LF03776U) restores CPR compression mechanics — both genuine OEM Nasco Healthcare parts for this manikin.

Q: What is included?
A: Three mouth/nose pieces, three disposable lung/airway systems, and a carrying bag.
