Replacement sternum for corpulent resuscitation manikin

Why Choose the Replacement Sternum for Corpulent Resuscitation Manikin for Your Simulation Lab in India?

The Replacement Sternum for Corpulent Resuscitation Manikin (Item No. 1018479, MPN: LF03776U) by Nasco Healthcare, USA is a 0.326 kg genuine OEM replacement sternum for the Life/form® Fat Old Fred™ Corpulent Resuscitation Manikin W44233 — the structural CPR compression component that absorbs the mechanical load of repeated chest compressions during obese patient resuscitation training. The sternum is the component that provides the compression resistance and spring-back that trainees compress against during CPR on the Fat Old Fred™ resuscitation manikin — different from the replacement foam (LF03777U), which provides the obese patient body shape. When the sternum degrades with high training volume, compression depth feedback becomes inconsistent or incorrect, degrading the quality of obese patient CPR training on this manikin.

For ACLS training centres, hospital in-service programmes, and NMC-mandated simulation labs in India running regular high-volume CPR training specifically on the Fat Old Fred™ W44233 resuscitation manikin, maintaining a spare sternum ensures training is not interrupted by component wear. The Fat Old Fred™ resuscitation manikin trains the specific physical demands of CPR on obese patients — the deeper compression force and altered hand placement geometry that obese body habitus requires — and a worn sternum compromises exactly that training value. Only genuine OEM LF03776U sternum is guaranteed to match the original compression mechanics and dimensional fit of the W44233 manikin. This is the corpulent resuscitation manikin sternum — not compatible with the standard resuscitation torsos (W44597, W44578) which use different breastplate components (1013244, 1013247).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which manikin is this sternum compatible with?
A: This sternum (1018479 / LF03776U) is a replacement part for the Life/form® Fat Old Fred™ Corpulent Resuscitation Manikin W44233 only. It is not compatible with standard resuscitation torsos.

Q: How does this differ from the Replacement Foam (LF03777U)?
A: The replacement foam (LF03777U) restores the obese patient body shape and compression depth. This sternum (LF03776U) is the structural CPR compression component that provides the mechanical resistance and spring-back during compressions. Both are separate replacement parts for the W44233 manikin.
