LifeVac - Choking Rescue Device Home Kit for Adult and Children First Aid Kit, Portable

Product Information

They seem to push themselves to go that little bit further and offer that little bit more to stand out from the rest. The LifeVac is designed for easy use and includes comprehensive instructions on how and when to use. Apply the top of the LifeVac mask on the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows, and the bottom of the mask between the bottom lip and chin. Being non-invasive, there is no risk of any tubes pushing the obstruction further back, pushing the tongue back in a panic situation, or tearing of the lingual frenulum which will cause bleeding and the tongue to become an additional obstruction.

Unfortunately, one size mask will not fit all so we have created a device that can be used on everyone by simply changing the mask. This is particularly important for people who use wheelchairs, as they may not be able to receive abdominal thrusts or back blows, making them more vulnerable to choking hazards.The LifeVac has saved over 1000 lives and more than 1880 care homes in the UK are equipped with the device. In 2017 we petitioned the Medical and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to lift the restrictions on the use of LifeVac in the UK. He also advised to cut hot dogs or sausages lengthways - slicing them across into little circles or chunks makes it more dangerous than not slicing at all - and to cut grapes into quarters, ideally. The LifeVac wall mounted kit is the most preferable LifeVac kit for the care sector as it is easily accessible and comes with a wall mounting hook to keep the box in eating areas or other areas where choking is high risk. I have lifevac in my home for my wife as she is prone to choking due having a stroke, I haven’t used it yet but have done the online training and read the instruction booklet.

It is necessary to complete a separate claim form each time a qualifying product is purchased from Hcsuk. The team at LifeVac are experts on choking, we have spent years studying choking and helping people save lives when First Aid BLS Choking protocol fails. If possible the person making the claim should complete this form, but a family member, carer or medical professional may complete the form on the claimants behalf. Supplied with a number of interchangeable sized masks, the LifeVac Standard includes everything that you need to get started with airway clearance. It is always recommended to cut food up for children, for example you would not give a whole grape to a child as these are a “perfect” size to block their airway, it is recommended to cut grapes in at least half.

This is the device to use in your everyday home, business, care home or school, with its small range of sizes proving suitable for protecting most people.

LifeVac Europe, which is based in the UK and is one of the leading companies in this sector is on a drive to convince regulators to relax the current restrictions in the UK, which it says do not apply in other countries.

Our care service have LifeVac wall kits in all of our eating areas, we have used the device multiple times across our sites and LifeVac Europe have always replaced them free of charge as advised, great service!
