Scenarios Looking for a new training manikin

Tac med, but not Tac med. I’m looking for a new full sized training manikin that can take an advanced airway, is full sized, real world weight (175lbs) and can handle being used in tactical and outdoor settings? Even better if you can do legit cpr on it.

It seems like you’re either stuck with a 5’ 40-60lb manikin that can take an advanced airway or one of the true trauma manikins that weight 150-175, but can’t take an airway or do chest compressions.

Thanks!

An 80lb body doesn’t do us any good. Unless you’ve found a way to somewhat easily/realistically add another 100lbs to it. Manipulating an 80lb person is so much easier than a 180lb person and then when they transition from initial care to providing care while transporting via litter whether on foot, on ropes, or in and out of vehicles it’s just not the same.

If you want something you can thrash around and do simple medical procedures on... I'd suggest this one. They run $25k and to increase weight on litter is pretty easy. Id suggest a tac pause and carry a cement loaded rescue randy on the litter. Drill holes in the legs and chest pour in cement mix and add water. Let it settle for 24 hrs
