MANABOT

Geriatric Patient Oral Care Manikin
MANABOT-F

MANABOT is a geriatric patient care training simulator which accurately replicates the oral cavity and surrounding organs of elderly persons. It allows for a focused clinical oral care training as well as learning aspiration verification, pharyngeal suctioning, endoscopy and other geriatric clinical skills. The full body type simulator [MANABOT-F] replicates the entire body of a geriatric patient equipped with an oral cavity with various dental prosthesis, nasal cavity, pharynx/larynx, torso, legs and other body parts, which help trainees and students learn how to properly and safely perform postural drainage.

Features

• Full upper and lower jaw model simulating the oral cavity of a geriatric patient

  Oral conditions commonly found in elderly persons such as mobile teeth, dental attrition and furcation defects are realistically reproduced on the model. Dental prosthesis such as partial dentures and bridges are also present on both upper and lower arches.

• Surrounding organs of the oral cavity

  The anatomically shaped throat module is useful in learning positional relationships between the oral cavity, nasal cavity and the pharynx/larynx as well as the anatomical structure of each region. Procedures such as endoscopy and oropharyngeal suctioning can also be practiced.

• Full body manikin simulating a female geriatric patient

  The major joints on the MANABOT-F can be moved allowing full body positioning and posture adjustment. This enables her to be placed sitting in a wheelchair or lying on a bed.

MANABOT-F is approximately 150cm tall and weighs 15kg.
