The Hungry Manikin® – Paediatric Nasogastric Feeding Trainer (AR331)

The Hungry Manikin® Paediatric Trainer (Item No. AR331) by Adam Rouilly, UK helps parents, carers, and healthcare staff safely practise nasogastric and gastrostomy feeding in children. With transparent anatomy, fluid aspiration, pH testing, and visible tube placement, it builds confidence in measuring, inserting, and managing feeding tubes.

Designed by clinicians, for real caregiver confidence. This model was designed by nutrition nurses at Birmingham Children’s Hospital to demonstrate to parents and carers the technique for inserting nasogastric and gastrostomy tubes in children. Families have reported that The Hungry Manikin gave them invaluable practice and increased their confidence and understanding.

Identifies each stage of correct placement. This simple-to-use simulator helps identify the stages of placement, ensuring the nasogastric device is passed safely and correctly, while letting parents and carers visualize correct positioning and practice the associated techniques themselves.

Skills trained: measurement, placement, and securement of nasogastric tube; insertion of gastrostomy tube; and — since the manikin accepts fluids — aspiration of the stomach for confirming correct tube placement, measuring pH (acidity/alkalinity) of stomach aspirate, enteral feeding via nasogastric or gastrostomy tubes, and administration of liquid-based medicines.

Significantly improved for realistic fluid handling. The Hungry Manikin has been upgraded so fluids can be introduced into the stomach, and the transparent cover is now removable — by means of a simple connector, the stomach can be removed for cleaning.

Realistic anatomical features, including a movable epiglottis to demonstrate swallowing, a transparent body allowing trainees to observe the tube being passed, a divided nasal septum, a gastrostomy opening, and a representation of the lungs and oesophagus.
