Ruth Lee Dive Rescue / Recovery Manikin GEN2
"Helping you create realistic training."

	Ruth Lee Ltd are leading manufacturers of rescue training manikins. They currently supply 100% of the UK's Fire and Rescue Services, and have many customers in the other emergency services including Police and Ambulance. Ruth Lee has 34 Distributors across the globe and have sold manikins to many countries; in fact, over 60% of their production is now exported overseas. They have worked in consultation with many customers to make sure they have the best possible training manikins on the market.

Ruth Lee Dive Rescue / Recovery Manikin GEN2:
The Dive Rescue / Recovery Manikin is constructed using a reinforced, heavy-duty Nylon mesh for the carcass with non-absorbent closed-cell foam for buoyancy. The mesh allows the water to flood out of the body as it is being recovered and also allows better ventilation when the manikin is hung up to dry. Polypropylene strips running from the shoulder area to the knee joint allow flexibility in and out of the water but do not allow the manikin to bend in half when using stretchers or recovery devices like the Jacobs Cradle. The addition of the facemask and wig gives a realistic look and feel and aids the identification of a human body in poor visibility (Please note that although a long, dark wig is supplied as standard, this cannot always be guaranteed.). The Adult Dive Rescue / Recovery manikin has a dry weight of 110 lbs.(50Kg) out of the water and will sink quickly to the desired position; the closed-cell foam adds to the buoyancy, giving a weight of 22 lbs (10 kg) in the water, which is a realistic weight of a body in the water. They are supplied with Wellington boots and protective coveralls, which extensively protect the manikin and are user-replaceable if damaged. One of the unique features of this manikin is that it is Sonar-Compatible. Unlike water-filled molded plastic manikins, the Ruth Lee manikin has mass and can be seen on sonar. Examine the sonar images below, and you will see the Dive Rescue / Recovery manikin laying on its side. NOTE: The Dive Rescue/Recovery manikin is for in-water training for Dive Rescue Teams. It is not designed to float. Rather, it is designed to be an analog for a body recovery from depth.

NOTE - Ruth Lee Training Manikin Coveralls:
Ruth Lee is the only manikin manufacturer that provides clothing with their products. All Ruth Lee Rescue Training Manikins include coveralls. Manikins 44 lbs and up also include lug sole boots. None is found on Bullex products, and Simulaids only adds thin gym shorts. While the strength-reinforced coveralls protect the manikin, they are NOT deemed Wear-proof. Their specific design is to provide a replaceable, washable layer that helps protect the manikin. The coveralls are designed to wear and must be replaced to protect the manikin carcass. Use of the manikins should mimic that of dragging a similarly dressed victim. The wear resistance of the coveralls should be considered on par with clothing usually worn by the victims. The included coveralls protect the manikin when used during rescue training. The coveralls are not designed to endure the rigors of firefighter drags or physical agility training. The coveralls and boots should be seen as disposable items and replaced when showing signs of wear or damage to protect the main body of the manikin. Additional clothing is suggested for use in these activities (Even the Combat Challenge dresses their manikins in turnout Gear for this competition). Treat the coveralls as clothing. They are NOT wear-proof. Protect your investment.

Features and Benefits:

Anatomically correct weight distribution allows for realistic body ‘bagging’ as part of training exercises.
The body recovery models are visible to sonar devices – the gallery image was taken using a Cmax CM2 Side Scan and Konsberg Sector Scan Sona.
Constructed using a H/D reinforced Nylon mesh for the carcass and non-absorbent closed cell foam for buoyancy – mesh allows water to flood into the body to allow it to sink and out as it is being recovered.
Mesh allows for ventilation when the manikin hung up to dry – a polypropylene loop to the back of the carcass allows the manikin to be lowered into position or hung up to dry.
The addition of a realistic face and a wig enable easier/quicker identification of the body in poor viability when the search is by touch only.
Polyethylene strips running from the shoulders to the knees allow flexibility but prevent the manikin from bending in half when using stretchers or recovery devices.
Replaceable coveralls and boots are easily replaceable and greatly extend the life of the manikins.
Please note that although a long, dark wig is supplied as standard, this cannot always be guaranteed.
