Nasco Healthcare: Being Crisis Ready

Nasco Healthcare’s portfolio encompasses over 6,000 types of products. Its advanced solutions are upgradeable to include additional simulation capabilities tailored to specific and individual training needs. Rescue Randy, which is endorsed by the hallmark international association of firefighters (IAFF) was developed to support life-like victim handling, transportation, and extrication training exercises for the US military during the Vietnam war. “During this war, we observed that preventable death caused by uncontrolled bleeding was 7.4 percent, a number which had changed little since then to this date,” says Miller. “To help address this issue, we introduced a number of simulation solutions, Casualty Care Rescue Randy being the latest, which helped reduce such casualties to less than three percent.” Nasco Healthcare’s product range also includes full-body manikins of different ages, namely Child CRiSis, which is an accurate childsized simulation system designed to facilitate comprehensive emergency training on a smaller scale.

As an end-to-end solutions provider, Nasco Healthcare manufactures and packages its products in-house through its two US-based manufacturing facilities. In addition, the company operates both domestic and international customer service and technical support for clients spread across 80 countries, including France, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, China, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, the US, and Canada. Besides having a network of strategic partners for solutions delivery, the company employs dedicated sales and technical support representatives in every global region to support its clients in driving the bottom line and improve training. The company produces more than a million individual units a year, which speaks volumes of its manufacturing, sales, and distribution scale and capabilities.

The next step for Nasco Healthcare is to broaden its portfolio by taking its solutions directly into homes and classrooms, especially with the integration of software, electronics, and digital platforms. With this, the company aims to connect with the growing audience. “The current pandemic crisis is only going to heighten, which makes it imperative to train and build skills that will help in saving lives,” concludes Miller.
