LifeVac Announces New Product

The LifeVac is a non-powered single patient portable suction apparatus (anti-choking device) developed for resuscitating a choking victim when standard current choking protocol has been followed without success. It’s patented design prevents any air from exiting through the mask and it’s unique valve prevents air from pushing food or objects downward by creating a one-way suction to remove the lodged food or object. The LifeVac comes with two mask sizes, medium and large to fit different age groups. It is available in a specifically packaged EMS/First Responders unit or available in a home use container. www.lifevac.net 877-LIFEVAC (543-3822)
