Ruth Lee Fire/Rescue Duty GEN2 Training Manikin (Infant through Very Heavy Adult Options)

Ruth Lee Duty GEN2 Rescue Training Manikins

Ruth Lee Duty rescue manikins provide realistically weighted casualties for fire, EMS, technical rescue and emergency-response training. Available in sizes ranging from an 11 lb infant through a 198 lb adult, the Duty range allows instructors to select a simulated casualty appropriate for the scenario and physical challenge being trained.

These rugged manikins are designed for exercises such as casualty handling, confined-space rescue, vehicle extrication, search and rescue, HAZMAT/CBRN training and general emergency evacuation.

Realistic Weight Distribution

Ruth Lee Duty manikins are weighted to approximate human body proportions, giving rescuers a more realistic impression of moving an unconscious casualty. Unlike a rigid training weight, the articulated body creates many of the handling challenges encountered when lifting, dragging, carrying or positioning a person during rescue operations.

Heavy-Duty Construction

The Duty range uses a durable, water-repellent polyester outer material with reinforced seams and high-strength webbing. Ruth Lee uses material comparable to that found in protective ballistic and stab-resistant equipment, providing high abrasion resistance for repeated rescue training.

Soft body joints reduce the pinching and bruising that can occur with rigid plastic-bodied training manikins.

Key Features

• Available from infant through 198 lb adult sizes
• Anatomically distributed weight for realistic casualty handling
• Durable, water-repellent polyester construction
• Reinforced seams and high-strength polypropylene webbing
• Soft articulated joints for more realistic handling
• Rear webbing loop for positioning, lifting into place, storage and drying
• Protective coveralls included
• Lug-sole boots supplied with models weighing 44 lb and above
• Adult models accommodate many common immobilization collars
• Suitable for wet or dirty rescue scenarios such as HAZMAT/CBRN training

Important: The rear webbing loop is intended for positioning, hauling the manikin into place, storage and drying. It should not be treated as a casualty drag handle during normal rescue training.

Available Sizes

Fire, EMS & Technical Rescue Training

The Ruth Lee Duty range can support a variety of casualty-handling exercises, including:

• Fire and rescue training
• Confined-space rescue
• Vehicle extrication
• Urban search and rescue
• HAZMAT / CBRN exercises
• Casualty evacuation
• Stretcher and immobilization practice
• Pole-top and technical rescue scenarios
• Team lifting and manual-handling practice

Protective Clothing

Ruth Lee Duty manikins are supplied with protective coveralls. Models weighing 44 lb and above also include secured lug-sole boots.

The clothing is intended to help protect the manikin body and should be treated as a consumable component. Replace worn or damaged clothing before excessive abrasion reaches the main manikin body.

Important Temperature & Water Limitations

Ruth Lee states that standard Duty manikins can withstand temperatures up to approximately 100°C (212°F). For flash-over training or environments above this temperature, use a purpose-built Ruth Lee Fire House Manikin.

Standard Duty manikins are also not intended for deep-water rescue training. Their normal weight distribution does not provide the appropriate behavior in water. Use a purpose-built Ruth Lee Water Rescue Manikin for aquatic scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available?

The Ruth Lee Duty range is available from an 11 lb infant through a 198 lb adult, allowing instructors to simulate casualties of different sizes and weights.

What is the most common adult size?

Ruth Lee identifies the 50 kg / 110 lb Adult and 70 kg / 154 lb Adult as popular configurations. The appropriate weight depends on the type of rescue exercise and physical challenge required.

Can Ruth Lee Duty manikins be used for water rescue?

Not for deep-water rescue. Ruth Lee recommends its dedicated Water Rescue manikins for aquatic training because they are designed to behave appropriately in the water.

Can these manikins be used in structural fire training?

They can be used in temperatures up to approximately 100°C (212°F). For flash-over or higher-temperature fire training, Ruth Lee recommends the Fire House range.

Can an immobilization collar be used?

Adult Duty manikins are designed to accommodate many common immobilization/extrication collars for casualty-care practice.

Is the rear webbing loop a drag handle?

No. It is intended for positioning the manikin, hauling it into place, storage and suspension for drying rather than normal casualty dragging.
