The Ultimate VAT manikin is the next generation of water rescue manikin. This manikin is the size of an adolescent child and weighs 30 lbs when dry. The manikin sinks within 10 seconds and retains water when pulled from a pool, replicating the weight of a real swimmer.
Body cavities allow water drainage when manikin is repositioned.
Movable jaw for full jaw thrust maneuver; head tilt for finger sweep maneuver
