Laerdal Paediatric Pocket Mask With Gloves & Wipe Poly Bag Each (820054)

Pediatric cardiac and respiratory emergencies demand highly specialized, precisely engineered equipment to ensure the highest standard of care. The Laerdal Paediatric Pocket Mask With Gloves & Wipe Poly Bag Each (820054) is a premium, clinical-grade barrier device specifically designed by Laerdal Medical to safely deliver rescue breaths to non-breathing children and infants. Complete with essential personal protective equipment (PPE) and packaged in a highly portable poly bag, this kit ensures that first responders, school nurses, and parents are fully equipped to perform life-saving ventilation safely and effectively.

Why Choose This Product?

Anatomy matters profoundly when performing CPR. Utilizing an adult-sized mask on a child or infant often results in significant air leaks, inadequate ventilation volume, and potential injury. This Laerdal pediatric mask eliminates those risks by featuring a specialized, scaled-down design that flawlessly contours to a child’s face. Furthermore, the safety of the rescuer is prioritized just as highly as the patient’s. By integrating a high-efficiency one-way filter valve and providing immediate access to medical gloves and a sanitation wipe, this kit dramatically reduces the risk of cross-contamination and fluid transfer during emergency resuscitation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Specialized Pediatric Design: Contoured specifically to match the facial structures of children and infants, ensuring maximum ventilation efficiency and preventing air escape.

• Advanced One-Way Filter Valve: Delivers a reliable physical barrier that blocks the transmission of blood, bodily fluids, and airborne pathogens between the patient and the rescuer.

• Comprehensive Rescue Kit: Comes complete with the pediatric mask, a pair of protective gloves, and a hygiene wipe, all packed in a single, ready-to-use kit.

• 100% Latex-Free: Constructed entirely without natural rubber latex, completely eliminating the risk of severe allergic reactions in both vulnerable pediatric patients and rescuers.

• Compact Poly Bag: The lightweight, clear polyethylene bag protects the components from dust and damage while taking up minimal space in trauma bags, first aid kits, or diaper bags.

Ideal Use Cases

• Pediatric wards, neonatal intensive care units (NICU), and outpatient children’s clinics.

• Schools, daycares, and youth sports facilities requiring specialized pediatric first aid readiness.

• Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), paramedics, and pediatric transport teams.

• Household emergency preparedness kits for parents and childcare providers.

Directions for Use

1. Tear open the poly bag, immediately put on the provided protective gloves, and remove the pediatric pocket mask.

2. Ensure the disposable one-way filter valve is securely attached to the mask’s center connection port.

3. For a Child: Place the mask over the bridge of the child’s nose and mouth. For an Infant: Invert the mask so the broader end rests over the infant’s chin, ensuring it does not cover the eyes.

4. Use both hands to press the soft edges of the mask firmly against the face to create a leak-free seal.

5. Perform a gentle head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver to open the pediatric airway.

6. Deliver gentle rescue breaths through the one-way valve, carefully observing the chest for a visible, appropriate rise and fall (avoid over-ventilation).

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Keep the mask, gloves, and wipe securely sealed in the poly bag when not in use. Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight, sharp objects, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

• Maintenance & Disposal: The main silicone mask dome can be washed, disinfected, and reused per standard clinical protocols. However, the one-way filter valve, gloves, and wipe are strictly single-use items and must be safely discarded after any patient contact.

• Safety Warning: Resuscitation on children and infants requires specific clinical techniques, including lower ventilation volumes. Ensure all expected users are properly trained in Pediatric Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR.
