Lifecast Forensic Manikin

A hyper-realistic deceased adult female forensic training manikin with 32 detailed injuries and wounds. Supports forensic science, law enforcement, safeguarding, and healthcare injury recognition training.

  • What training programs is this manikin suited to?
    It supports forensic science education, law enforcement training, healthcare and hospital-based injury recognition, safeguarding and abuse-recognition scenarios, medical and legal case discussions, and crime scene documentation training.
  • Why is a hyper-realistic manikin important for forensic training?
    Understanding the appearance, location, and context of injuries is fundamental to forensic investigation. A realistic manikin allows learners to observe, identify, document, and discuss a broad range of traumatic presentations in a safe, repeatable environment before encountering real cases.
  • What injury types are represented on the manikin?
    The 32 injuries include bruises, abrasions, scars, lacerations, stab wounds, a gunshot wound, open fracture, needle marks, post-mortem staining, petechial haemorrhages, a faint ligature mark around the neck, and a chronic injection sinus — covering the key presentations in forensic and safeguarding practice.
  • Will each manikin look exactly the same?
    No. Each Lifecast manikin is individually hand-finished, meaning slight variations in appearance, colouration, and injury detail are to be expected — consistent with the bespoke, non-mass-produced manufacturing approach that gives Lifecast manikins their exceptional realism.
  • Can it be used for both classroom and immersive scenario training?
    Yes. The manikin is designed for classroom teaching, case-based learning, and immersive scenario training — making it a versatile single investment for programs that need to move learners from theoretical knowledge to practical injury observation and professional communication skills.
