When it comes to CPR, you gotta get grabbed.

That’s why a new product, the Womanikin, is putting boobs on CPR mannequins. They’re not just for show: The altered model aims to combat the disparity between genders receiving CPR from bystanders.

Studies have shown that men, because of their flat chests, are more likely to receive life-saving intervention than women.

Because CPR is traditionally taught on flat-chested dummies, people don’t know how to handle women in dire circumstances: Is it inappropriate to touch their breasts? Does it count as sexual assault?

The Womanikin website provides female-specific instructions on how to give CPR: “Yes, this will mean you are touching her left breast. Don’t worry. You might save her life.”

The 2018 American Heart Association’s Resuscitation Science Symposium determined that women are 27 percent less likely to receive CPR from a bystander because of the misconception that breasts make it “more challenging” and worries about inappropriate touching in the #MeToo era.

“While these are actual fears the public holds, it is important to realize that CPR is lifesaving and should be rendered to collapsed individuals regardless of gender, race or ethnicity,” says lead study author Dr. Sarah M. Perman, assistant professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado.

The Womanikin team’s goal is to close the gender gap by encouraging the public to go tit for tat when helping those who collapse in public.

The product is a fabric sleeve with breasts that slips over traditional flat-chested CPR mannequins. In a three-way partnership among the United State of Women, NYC-based ad agency Joan Creative and Frontline Health, the Womanikin team wants its product in use by every CPR training school in the country.

The Womanikin design is now available for download in a free “Builder’s Toolkit,” for anyone who wants to create their own.

“The Womanikin won’t solve everything, but it’s a step in the right direction,” Joan co-founder Jaime Robinson tells CNN.
