Ruth Lee Ltd Partners with Rescue Technology To Bring Market-Leading Training Manikins to US

Ruth Lee Ltd, designer and manufacturer of high quality rescue equipment and training manikins for over 30 years in the UK, has partnered with Rescue Technology to bring their market leading training manikins to the US. 

All the different models are made in exactly the same way, with an inner body weighted with aggregate to human proportions, held inside the outer carcass. The aggregate is distributed around the body in weighted packets in such a way that slumping of the weight is prevented, allowing the dummy to maintain its form during and after use. 
 
The three main types, Flame Retardant (FR), Water Rescue (WR) and General Purpose (GP), all use different materials; the GP dummies (our most popular models) use heavy-duty canvas, Nylon and polyurethane foam, while the FR models are made using a mixture of glass fiber, Kevlar, PBI Gold and heat resistant foam. The WR manikins use P.V.C, Nylon mesh and non-absorbent foam. All manikins apart from the FR models are reinforced using high-density polypropylene webbing.
