Suitable for children, adolescents, and adults, it provides peace of mind across a wide range of users, including pregnant individuals and those with disabilities.
Key Features
-
Ease of Use: The LifeVac device is non-invasive and requires no prescription or prior training. Its patented one-way valve system ensures effective airway clearance without the risk of pushing obstructions further down.

Reusable Design: While the device itself is reusable, the accompanying masks are single-use and should be replaced after use or every 2–5 years as recommended. All components are latex-free, enhancing safety for those with latex sensitivities.
-
Comprehensive Kit: The kit includes a LifeVac suction device and four masks in various sizes, catering to different age groups and body sizes. An Extra Large Adult mask is available separately if needed.
Travel Bag
The kit comes with a soft, yellow drawstring travel bag made from bonded PU waterproof fabric, measuring approximately 230mm x 320mm x 100mm. This bag ensures that the device and accessories are protected from spills and accidental damage, making it ideal for storage in prams, wheelchairs, travel bags, or car boots. Its compact design allows for convenient transportation, even on airplanes.
Safety and Maintenance
Classified as a Class 1 medical device and supported by peer-reviewed studies, the LifeVac device is a reliable addition to any home, workplace, school, or public venue. Users are advised to store the device at room temperature and inspect it for defects upon receipt. Masks should be periodically checked if stored in hot environments, such as inside a car.
