“Men are more likely than women to receive CPR in public. The creators of a new fabric attachment that gives manikins more womanly features hope to change that.

New York ad agency JOAN Creative and organization The United State of Women developed the Womanikin, which attaches to a manikin used during CPR practice and gives the manikin breasts, reports CNN.

“The vast majority of us learn on a flat-chested torso. This universal attachment will change that. The Womanikin won’t solve everything, but it’s a step in the right direction,” Jaime Robinson, JOAN co-founder and chief creative officer, told CNN.

The Womanikin was developed after a 2017 study determined women suffering from cardiac arrest in public are 27 percent less likely to receive CPR from bystanders than men are, per CNN, and men are 23 percent more likely to survive such events.

Researchers believe that’s likely due to uncertainty over where to place hands during CPR and reluctance to touch a woman’s chest, per The Independent.”
