Trucorp's AirSim Pierre Robin X manikin was developed with clinicians from Children's Hospital Lost Angeles, and represents an infant with Pierre Robin Sequence/Syndrome (PRS).
This realistic simulator manikin allows for training in difficult pediatric airway management of patients with the unique anatomy associated with PRS.
How does this model differ from the other AirSim infant simulators?

- Significant mandibular hypoplasia
- Micrognathia
- Glossoptosis
- Cleft palate
- Bifid uvula
- Designed with true to life internal landmarks representative of a six month old with Pierre Robin Sequence
- AirSim airway is certified to practice over 20,000 intubation cycles
- Constructed based on real CT data from and infant with PRS
- "Real feel" skin covering the manikin
