To overcome the issues regarding training in real persons, using a simulated manikin instead of an actual patient or simulated patient is another option with consideration to the training able to be held at any time periods and no issues about minor or serious complications needed to be concerned with. The aim of this study is to devise a low-cost manikin with a specific design to serve all possible needs of end users but still keep its function as necessary for training.
