BIX-J90 Guide: One Traumamanikin, Sixteen Wounds — Building Realistic First Aid Drills

Short answer: The BIX-J90 is a full-body trauma simulation manikin built for first aid and prehospital care training. It carries sixteen injury modules — burns of the first, second and third degree, lacerations, open fractures of the upper and lower limbs, an abdominal wound with evisceration, and a gunshot wound — so a single model supports an entire practical session on wound assessment, washing and disinfection, hemostasis, bandaging, fixation and casualty carrying. The burned skin panels are replaceable, which keeps a frequently used station serviceable.

Key takeaways

• Full-body manikin with 16 replaceable / simulated injury modules
• Covers burns (1st–3rd degree), lacerations, open fractures, evisceration and gunshot injury
• Supports the full first aid chain: assessment, washing and disinfection, hemostasis, bandaging, fixation, carrying
• Opened-fracture parts reproduce bone and soft-tissue exposure for realistic handling
• Replaceable burned skin for extended service life
• Suitable for medical schools, nursing programmes, EMS academies and workplace first-aid courses

The sixteen injury modules in one session

Because the wounds are distributed across the whole body, a class can run a head-to-toe primary survey, then rotate students through individual stations without moving the manikin.

Why trauma first aid is a skills-training problem, not a knowledge problem

Trauma is one of the few clinical areas where the time between injury and correct intervention is measurable in minutes, and where training has a direct, documented effect on survival. Analysis of combat casualty data by Eastridge and colleagues showed that a large share of potentially survivable deaths resulted from hemorrhage that could have been controlled with timely first aid [1]. In civilian practice the same pattern holds through a different mechanism: the WHO reports that road traffic injuries kill approximately 1.16 million people each year, and that delays of only minutes in post-crash care can decide between life and death — which means the quality of bystander and prehospital response is a survival variable, not a detail [2].

Hemorrhage control is where the training gap is widest, because it cannot be learned from a lecture. Kauvar and colleagues, reviewing the epidemiology of trauma outcome, identified uncontrolled hemorrhage as the leading cause of preventable death in trauma and emphasised early, hands-on control [3]. A manikin with a bleeding wound and an open fracture lets students practise the sequence — assess, control bleeding, protect the wound, immobilise, package and transport — in the correct order, under time pressure, and make the mistakes in a classroom instead of on a roadside.

How to build a session around the J90

• Wound assessment and documentation: rotate through all sixteen modules and have students describe and classify each injury.
• Hemostasis and wound care: practise direct pressure, packing and bandaging on the bleeding and open-fracture modules, and washing/disinfection on the soft-tissue wounds.
• Immobilisation and carrying: use the open-fracture limbs to teach splinting and fracture fixation, then move to casualty-carrying techniques.
• Burn handling: use the three-degree burn panels to teach estimation and dressing selection, with the replaceable skin allowing repeated use.

Pair the trauma drills with a CPR station so students practise the transition that matters most in real incidents: recognising arrest and starting compressions after initial trauma care [4].

Configuration and honest notes

The product page lists the sixteen injury components described above; accessory sets and spare skin panels can vary by order, so confirm the delivered configuration and the spare-parts list with the supplier before planning a term. This is an educational training model, not a medical device. Always teach first aid against your current national and organisational protocols.

FAQ

Q1. What is the BIX-J90 used for?
Full-body trauma and first aid training: injury assessment, wound washing and disinfection, hemostasis, bandaging, fracture fixation and casualty carrying.

Q2. How many injuries does it include?
Sixteen simulated injury modules, covering burns, lacerations, open and compound fractures, an abdominal wound with evisceration, a gunshot wound and traumatic amputation.

Q3. Are the wounds replaceable?
The burned skin panels are replaceable, and the modular design is intended for repeated classroom use; ask the supplier for the current spare-parts list.

Q4. Does it cover hemorrhage control?
Yes — the bleeding and open-fracture modules support hands-on practice of direct pressure, packing and bandaging, which the trauma literature identifies as the highest-value preventable-death intervention.

Q5. Can it be used for CPR training as well?
The J90 is a trauma and first aid model. It is best paired with a dedicated CPR manikin (for example a full-body CPR trainer) when a session covers both trauma care and resuscitation.

Q6. How do I get a quotation or the component list?
Email cprwell@adaanatomy.com with the model (BIX-J90), quantity and destination; our team will send pricing, lead time and the detailed component and spare-parts list.

Request a quotation

Email cprwell@adaanatomy.com for the BIX-J90 price list and shipping details. For a complete emergency-training package we can also quote a full-body CPR manikin and an airway-intubation trainer from the same line, so one purchase covers trauma care, resuscitation and airway skills.
