Pocket Nurse® SimObesityShirt™ Adult Obesity Simulation

Expose your students to the unique physical and emotional complexities of caring for bariatric patients. By wearing the SimObesityShirt™, students can develop appreciation and empathy for the challenges that bariatric patients face in trying to perform basic activities of daily living.

• Fits adult manikins from all major suppliers as well as standardized patients, students, and instructors
• Weighted pendulous breasts and pannus create deep skin folds that can highlight the need for thorough assessment of the bariatric patient's skin
• Pills, simulated yeast or fungus, and more can be placed in the folds for students to discover
• Weighted pannus provides realistic challenges associated with catheterization of bariatric clients
• Large upper arm size gives students practice in assessing the appropriate size of blood pressure cuff needed.
• Provides realistic challenges to listening to heart and chest sounds, making students lift the breasts to obtain more direct contact with the chest wall for clearer sounds
• Bilateral deltoid injection sites are present as well as an abdominal site for subcutaneous injections.
• The shirt comes with all padding and weights needed for a realistic look, as well as fully washable skin and storage bag.
