Silicone Resuscitator (Infant) Autoclavable
Free!
Reusable, infant-sized silicone resuscitator for safe, effective manual ventilation. The responsive bag, pressure-limiting valve, and soft-seal mask support gentle tidal delivery, while autoclavable parts enable reliable sterilization and lower cost per use. Ideal for delivery rooms, NICU, emergency care, and transport teams needing durable equipment that is easy to handle, easy to clean, and ready for rapid response.
Description
A silicone resuscitator (infant) is a reusable, hand-powered bag-valve-mask designed to ventilate newborns and infants when breathing is inadequate. The soft silicone bag gives responsive squeeze control, while the transparent patient valve and mask help clinicians see chest rise and airway secretions. Autoclavable construction allows repeated steam sterilization for cost-efficient reuse without sacrificing reliability.
Key features and benefits:
• Medical-grade silicone bag with textured grip for precise, consistent ventilation.
• Autoclavable components for validated reprocessing and lower cost per use.
• Infant-sized bag and mask for small tidal volumes and gentle sealing on delicate skin.
• Pressure-limiting (pop-off) valve to help reduce the risk of over-inflation.
• Oxygen inlet and reservoir option to deliver higher inspired oxygen when needed.
• 360-degree swivel patient port for comfortable hand position during prolonged use.
• Clear housing to monitor valve action and patient secretions.
• Optional PEEP valve compatibility to help maintain functional residual capacity.
Typical applications:
• Delivery rooms and neonatal resuscitation corners.
• NICU, pediatric wards, emergency departments, and ambulances.
• Operating rooms as backup during induction or transport.
Compared to disposables:
• Reusable silicone retains elasticity after heat cycles, supports a more responsive “feel,” and reduces clinical waste.
• Disposables offer convenience but create higher ongoing costs and more waste for high-volume units.
Quality and selection notes:
• Choose models validated for repeated autoclave cycles and compatible with your facility’s cleaning agents.
• Select sizes and masks appropriate for term and preterm infants, with clear labeling for quick identification.
• Many hospitals prefer devices manufactured under recognized medical-device quality systems and tested to international performance standards for user-powered resuscitators.
