Pocket CPR Mask
Free!
A pocket CPR mask is a compact rescue-breathing barrier with a one-way valve and filter that helps protect the rescuer while delivering effective ventilations. The cushioned seal and clear dome support proper placement and monitoring, and many versions accept supplemental oxygen. Ideal for first responders and trained bystanders who want a safer, more controlled alternative to mouth-to-mouth or flat shields—small enough to carry, ready when seconds matter.
Description
A pocket CPR mask is a compact, reusable rescue-breathing barrier designed to deliver effective ventilations while protecting the rescuer from direct mouth-to-mouth contact. The contoured, transparent dome seals over the patient’s nose and mouth, and a one-way valve with a replaceable filter helps block fluids and reduces exposure risk. Many models include an oxygen inlet port so trained responders can add supplemental oxygen when available. Packed in a hard or soft case, it fits in medical kits, glove boxes, and duty belts.
Key features and benefits:
• One-way valve with filter helps protect the rescuer during rescue breaths
• Soft, cushioned flange for a reliable face seal and better tidal volumes
• Transparent dome for visual monitoring of lip color, secretions, and mask placement
• Optional elastic head strap to free the rescuer’s hands for airway positioning
• Oxygen inlet port on many versions for supplemental oxygen delivery (where protocols allow)
• Pocket-sized case for everyday carry and quick access
Common use cases and industries:
• First responders, lifeguards, security teams, and workplace safety staff
• Schools, gyms, hotels, and public venues with trained CPR personnel
• Home, travel, and community first-aid kits for prepared bystanders
Comparison guidance:
• Versus simple face shields, a pocket mask offers a better seal, more controlled breaths, and improved patient monitoring
• Versus bag-valve-mask devices, it’s smaller and simpler for single rescuers, though BVMs are preferred for advanced airway management by trained teams
Quality and compliance notes:
• Typically supplied as a medical device with instructions for single-patient use of the valve/filter and proper cleaning of the mask body
• Users should follow current CPR guidelines and local regulations, and train regularly to ensure correct technique
