BRAYDEN Pulse CPR Manikin (With Lights)
The Brayden Pulse is a CPR manikin — a CPR dummy in everyday terms — that lets students see the real point of CPR: getting blood flowing to the brain and other organs. Illuminated flow runs the length of the manikin and responds to compression quality, so a trainee watches their own technique work or fail instead of being told about it. Winner of the 2016 iF Design Award for Medicine and Health.
Why choose the CPR manikin?
Most training equipment tells a student they were wrong. This one shows them why it mattered. When compressions are too shallow or too slow the lights fade, and when technique is right the flow reaches the head — which turns an abstract instruction into something the class can see from across the room.
That visibility does the instructor's job for them. A trainer can say "push harder" a dozen times; a CPR manikin that visibly stops perfusing the brain makes the point once. Dual training modes structure a session from learning effective CPR through to refining technique, in accordance with ARC guidelines.
Choose the Pulse where engagement and understanding are the goal — community courses, schools, workplace first aid. Choose the Brayden Pro instead where you need measured, exportable data to evidence competence, and the standard Brayden where you simply need more manikins per class at lower cost.

CPR manikin FAQs
Is a CPR dummy the same as a CPR manikin?
Yes — CPR dummy, CPR mannequin and CPR manikin all describe the same thing. "Manikin" is the term manufacturers and training bodies use; "dummy" is the everyday Australian word. If you are shopping for a CPR dummy, this is the product you want.
What do the lights actually show?
Blood circulation. The illuminated flow responds to how effective the compressions are, so shallow or slow compressions visibly fail to perfuse the head. It converts an instruction into feedback the whole class can see.
How is a CPR manikin cleaned between students?
Face shields or manikin wipes between users, with face skins, body skins and airway parts replaced periodically. Budget for it — infection control between students is an ongoing consumable cost, and it is the item most often left out of a purchase comparison.
Pulse, Pro or standard Brayden?
Pulse for the blood-flow lights that teach why CPR works. Pro for quantitative Bluetooth data you can export as evidence of competence. Standard for extra manikins at the lowest cost per unit. All three take the same junior conversion kit.
Can one manikin cover adult and child training?
The adult manikin converts to a junior in minutes with the Brayden Junior kit — a spring swap plus junior face and body skins — rather than buying a second manikin. Infant CPR is a different technique again and needs a dedicated infant manikin.
