Brayden set to widen range of award-winning manikins

The Brayden range of manikins for CPR training is being enhanced to include two new models: the Brayden Junior Conversion Kit and the Brayden Baby. Demand for Brayden manikins has been excellent and with these new additions to the range, the ‘Brayden family’ is growing.

Paramedics and training organisations will be familiar with the award-winning Brayden with Lights—the first manikin to provide visual feedback on CPR performance. This manikin has received excellent reviews from medical professionals, who praise the use of intuitive lights that show if users are performing the correct CPR technique in terms of depth, speed and release between compressions. Unlike some other manikins, it is fully compliant with both the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Research Council (ERC) 2015 Guidelines. More specifically, it complies with the ERC requirement to compress the chest to 5–6 cms.

Subsequently, the Brayden Pro manikin was developed for group training purposes, whereby up to six manikins can be monitored at a time with a Bluetooth connection to a tablet. Real-time feedback of key CPR parameters can be reviewed, analysed and exported. Students can see the results of their efforts and various training modes are provided to meet different scenarios; for example, compressions only, ventilation only. Records can be stored and easily exported via email and numeric data can be accessed easily for later analysis.
