LifeVac is a patented life-saving device proven to be the most effective way to help a child or adult during a choking emergency. The Proven No. 1 Solution For Choking Emergencies
In time-critical situations having the equipment on hand to dislodge a blockage in the windpipe is essential. The LifeVac Home Kit is designed for use if back blows and abdominal thrusts aren’t sufficient.
Why LifeVac?
Someone can die from choking in under 10 minutes and sustain brain damage in under 6.
Key Benefits
Multiple sized masks – the LifeVac Home Kit comes with three different sized masks to ensure a secure seal for both paediatric and adult casualties.
Practice mask supplied – there is also a mask included in this kit to practice with the device prior to an emergency to ensure that response is quick and efficient.
Non-invasive airway clearance – uses a one-way suction mechanism to remove obstructions safely, reducing the risk of injury or pushing the blockage further down.
Free replacements – in the unfortunate event that you ever have to use the LifeVac, you are eligible for a free replacement from LifeVac.
The Kit Includes:
LifeVac Instruction Booklet – The instruction booklet details how to use LifeVac, and which coloured sticker identifies the size of the mask.

How to Use a LifeVac Anti-Choking Device
Push and twist the mask into the base of your LifeVac unit.
Hold the mask firmly in place over their mouth and nose with your less dominant hand, making sure their head is tilted back.
Use your dominant hand on the LifeVac handle, depress and then pull upwards with a short, swift tug (while holding the mask firmly in place).
Roll the person onto their side, check their mouth to clear any debris, and repeat the process up to five times if the obstruction is not cleared.
How Does It Work?
LifeVac features two patented discs that accommodate interchangeable mask sizes, recognising that one size does not fit all. It also incorporates a patented one-way valve system that prevents air from being forced through the mask during use.
LifeVac’s non-invasive design ensures that no tubes can push the tongue back or drive the obstruction deeper during a panic situation. This design also prevents tubes from becoming blocked, which could otherwise render the device ineffective if only part of the obstruction has been cleared.
