Adult Full-Body Nursing Manikin, 98591WA3BS

Question
I am a nursing teacher and would like to know frstly do you have a rep in Australia and secondly does this model come in black - we teach a lot Aboriginal students and it is culturally appropriate to have a dark skinned model.

Answer

Thank you for your interest.  We do not currently have any representation in Australia, however we have sold our nursing manikins to organizations throughout Australia and dozens of other countries.

Regrettably, our adult manikin line is fairly limited to light skinned manikins.  We do offer alternative skin tones in our baby models.

Please let us know if you may be interested in purchasing one of our manikins or models, we would be happy to provide pricing based upon your requirements.
