The TOMManikins wounds are manufactured using a proprietary process to develop the wounds with realistic tissue, subcutaneous fat and bone. These severe trauma simulations have been reviewed for anatomical accuracy and for psychological impact by civilian medical personnel who have been involved in treating major accident victims and by military (and former military) medical personnel who treated traumatic injuries found in the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Both military medics and civilian first responders have rigorously tested these wounds to simulate traumatic injuries and to determine the educational enhancements these types of realistic injuries can provide to students. The NOMU currently owns several TOMManikin extremities are interchangeable between all TOMM platforms. TOMMs upper extremities can be realistically handcuffed behind his back with a single pair of handcuffs. Extremities can be crushed, and or immobilized, with up to 6,000lb (2720 kg) 1.2gallon onboard bleeding reservoir massive bleeding from multiple locations Realistic sucking chest wound (standard on GSW platform) Onboard battery is a 12v / 5amp & 10amp standard nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. NARS tablet operating software is capable of controlling TOMM, NARS H60T, NARS battle sound devices, NARS Pulse ox, blood pressure cuff, inline waveform capnograph, ALS Kit, and other NARS simulation devices through its proprietary software package; therefore, it is essential that NOMU receive these exact products. Market research was completed by examining pertinent specifications and capabilities from vendor websites, reviewing catalogs and other generally available product literature published by manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and recommendations from other technical members of the government and scientific community.
