Prestan Female Blog

Unfortunately, it is still very common for non-professional rescuers to not know exactly where to place their hands on a woman's chest for correct CPR. This leads to doubt on the part of the rescuer, resulting in 14% fewer women being resuscitated by bystanders than men, causing cardiac arrest in women to more often end fatally. 

This is why we present Prestan's new product in our range: the Prestan Female resuscitation manikins. The Prestan Female helps to remove this hesitation by providing clear training so that rescuers can act confidently and effectively.

The CPR mannequins in the Prestan Female line have one important feature, they have breasts to provide a better simulation of female CPR. This innovation may seem like a small detail at first glance, but its impact could save more lives. Read more details about the Prestan Female CPR manikins in this blog.

Prestan Female breaks taboos

With the Female resuscitation manikin, a resuscitation manikin with feminine features such as breasts, Prestan aims to improve womens’ chances of survival in resuscitations. The brand is committed to breaking the taboo surrounding this issue. The innovative Prestan Female manikin is designed to better prepare rescuers to resuscitate female victims. In addition, Prestan aims to start a conversation about the importance of resuscitation in women, contributing to increased awareness and better training.

By using the Prestan Female in combination with the Prestan Female Accessory, you can mimic a victim wearing a bra. This allows the trainee to practice removing a bra before starting CPR on a woman. This provides an even more realistic situation during CPR training.

Prestan Female specifications

The realistic Prestan Female resuscitation manikins retain the familiar design of the Prestan Adult Manikin, but additionally feature breasts for a feminine appearance. Like all other Prestan resuscitation manikins, the Female models are affordable and user-friendly. They are extremely light weight, in addition to being quick and easy to assemble. This is a valuable addition for your CPR training, as they are ready to use in a short time!

The Prestan Female manikins are equipped with the brand's unique feedback system, which gives trainees instant insight into the speed and depth of their compressions. This is done via coloured lights: an orange light illuminates when the frequency is too low (below 100 compressions per minute), two green lights appear when the frequency is correct, and a flashing orange light warns of too high a speed (above 120 compressions per minute). Thanks to a click mechanism, it is also immediately audible when the correct compression depth is reached. This innovative feedback system helps significantly improve the quality of CPR training.
