SimMan Essential and SimMan 3G

SimMan® Essential

SimMan Essential manufactured by Laerdal Corporation, is a wireless human patient simulator that represents an average-size adult patient. As a high fidelity manikin SimMan Essential can teach core skills in airway, breathing cardiac, and circulation. He comes equipped with a patient monitor that displays vitals, labs, and radiology.
