Afterwards, join MCR Medical, PRESTAN products, and CPR instructors across the U.S. in raising awareness about the stigma and hesitations around giving CPR to women. Studies show that women are 14% less likely to receive bystander CPR than men (according to a study by DUKE University ). 

As a leading supplier of first aid and CPR training equipment, MCR Medical is committed to supporting instructors, training centers, and lifesaving education efforts. By shedding light on these critical issues, we hope to encourage more people to step up and act without hesitation when every second counts.

Join in the fight by incorporating this knowledge into your trainings. Products such as PRESTAN’s new Female manikin (NEW PRESTAN Female Manikins) are a great resource. Include our new Manibra accessory for added realism to assist in training. Using these realistic tools helps prepare your students for real-life scenarios, limiting the hesitations they may face.

The evidence is clear: women are less likely to receive help during cardiac arrest. The stigma surrounding the female body should never be a factor when a life is on the line. The reluctance to assist women in  life-threatening situations often stems from misconceptions or discomfort around the female body. This hesitation can significantly delay CPR, which is crucial for survival.

 

The introduction of PRESTAN’s NEW anatomically correct Female Manikin is an important step toward addressing this issue.

 

By providing a more realistic training tool, they help learners gain confidence in performing CPR on women. Detailed anatomical features, like breast contours, ensure correct hand placement, creating a lifelike scenario. This approach helps challenge the biases that may contribute to gender-based disparities in emergency assistance.

 

Following the training guidelines and paired with MCR’s Deluxe first responder kit, we can now better simulate critical actions, such as removing the shirt, cutting or removing the bra, and applying AED pads, ensuring a more accurate and comprehensive training experience.

 

 

Just like all of the PRESTAN products we’ve grown to admire, you can be assured you’re receiving a high-quality, fully functional training tool.

 

 Features include:

• Realistic looking manikin with a pinch-able nose and fully formed neck portion that allows for a carotid pulse check.
• Easy-to-insert lung bag speeds setup of the manikin.
• Realistic skin resists dirt, grime and grease.
• Adequate upper chest sizing facilitates AED training.
• Accurately represent female anatomy
• Visual anatomy ‘landmarks’ such as a navel and ribcage allow for practice of the Heimlich maneuver and reinforce proper hand placement for quality CPR compressions.
• Head-tilt illustrates how to open the airway and allows each student to observe a true chest rise when proper head-tilt chin-lift technique is used.
• Clicker mechanism increases student’s confidence in administering adequate compressions.
• Manikins are capable of being cleaned and decontaminated per CDC guidelines.
• Three-year factory warranty against defects in workmanship

Welcome to our blog, where we’re excited to share the latest updates for all CPR training enthusiasts and professionals!

 

If you currently own, or are considering, the Prestan Adult Series 2000 Manikin, you’re in for a treat. Since it came out, this innovative system has allowed you to record and track student progress and technique via Bluetooth, providing advanced feedback directly in the palm of their hands.

Now, Prestan has released a NEW and IMPROVED Prestan Feedback App! 

 

Continue reading Introducing the New & Improved PRESTAN 2000 CPR Feedback App!

Prestan Manikins come in 3 models to choose from: Ultralite, Professional, and Series 2000. For many new customers, it is difficult to know which will work best for them. We’ve put together a helpful guide to see the differences in each model and assist in making the best decision for you! 

 

Ultralite

The Ultralite is the lightest and most economical of the manikins. It was created to be lightweight, easily stored, and budget friendly. There are no backs on these Manikins, making them stackable on each other. For this reason they take up the least room when stored.

They have Depth and Rate Feedback, through the ‘click’ on compressions in the piston, and 1 light that attaches to the shoulder. The Ultralite come in 2 Sizes – an Adult and Infant model. All Ultralite models have a 3-year warranty.

We suggest these for people who are constantly on the go, having infrequent classes, or needing a budget friendly option. 

 

Professional

These are the most common and widely used. It is created to be hardy, long-lasting, and best replicate CPR scenarios. Each manikin comes in it’s own carry bag for storage, or a 4-pack comes in a large carry-bag that fits them all.

They offer Depth and Rate Feedback, through a ‘click’ on compressions and 4 lights in the monitor on the shoulder. The Professional comes in 3 sizes – an Adult, Child and Infant model. All Professional models have a 3-year warranty.

The Professional is suggested for most CPR/AED training classes. 

 

Series 2000

The Series 2000 is the latest Prestan Manikin model. Created to offer Advanced Feedback, the Monitor gives data for Depth, Rate, Recoil, Ventilation, and Hands-off Time. It all connects via Bluetooth to the Prestan App, offering the ability to record and track student progress/technique. 

The Series 2000 currently comes in one size – an Adult. All Series 2000 have a 1-year warranty.

This is a great option to kick training up a notch and give students Advanced Feedback in the palm of their hand. Offering the same body as the loved Professional Series, but with greater feedback capabilities, the Series 2000 is a fantastic option for most CPR/AED training classes. We suggest this for instructors looking for in-depth training and without budgetary confinements.
