Pocket Mask CPR in Hard Case - Rescue Breathing Barrier

A CPR pocket mask supplied in a rigid protective case. It creates a barrier between rescuer and patient during rescue breathing, with a one-way valve so that air travels to the patient and expired air and fluids do not return to the rescuer. The hard case keeps it clean and intact at the bottom of a kit, which is where it will spend almost all of its life. For a flat, single-use alternative, see the AEROSHIELD disposable CPR face shield.

Why a pocket mask rather than mouth to mouth

Two reasons, and the second is the one that changes outcomes. The obvious benefit is the barrier: a one-way valve means the rescuer is not in direct contact with the patient's mouth or expired air, which removes the hesitation that stops some people starting at all. The less obvious one is technique. A mask held with two hands lets a rescuer maintain a proper seal and a head-tilt chin-lift at the same time, which is genuinely difficult mouth-to-mouth, and a better seal means the breath actually reaches the lungs rather than escaping around the face. Keep it where CPR would happen rather than in a cupboard, check the valve and the seal periodically, and replace it after any use. Most importantly, the mask supports training rather than replacing it - current resuscitation guidance prioritises early, continuous chest compressions and early defibrillation, so follow the protocol you were taught.

Common uses

Workplace and site first aid kits, vehicles, sports clubs, gyms, schools, aged care and community response bags. Keep it beside an AED and mark the location with an AED sign, or browse more resuscitation equipment at MediBC.
