Laerdal Pediatric Pocket Mask without Wipe & Gloves CPR Barrier Dev Each (820053)

When a pediatric cardiac or respiratory emergency occurs, every second is critical, and standard adult equipment is often inadequate. The Laerdal Pediatric Pocket Mask without Wipe & Gloves CPR Barrier Dev Each (820053) provides healthcare professionals, first responders, and childcare providers with a precision-engineered resuscitation tool designed exclusively for smaller anatomies. Packaged in a highly portable soft case with a convenient belt clip, this streamlined kit focuses purely on delivering the highest quality airway barrier protection, ensuring you are always ready to provide life-saving care to infants and children safely and effectively.

Why Choose This Product?

Performing CPR on a pediatric patient requires specialized techniques and equipment. Using an adult-sized mask on a child or infant can lead to massive air leaks and inadequate ventilation. Laerdal solves this critical issue with a uniquely designed circular silicone mask that achieves a significantly tighter seal on pediatric facial structures. Furthermore, the mask’s ergonomic design creates a crucial distance between the patient and the care provider. This optimal spacing allows the rescuer to clearly visualize the patient’s chest rise and fall, ensuring rescue breaths are effective while avoiding dangerous over-ventilation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Targeted Pediatric Design: The circular, medical-grade silicone mask perfectly adapts to the facial contours of infants and children for an unmatched, airtight seal.

• Low-Resistance One-Way Valve: Features a high-quality polycarbonate (PC) one-way valve that minimizes breathing resistance while providing a robust physical barrier against fluid and pathogen transfer.

• Enhanced Clinical Visualization: The transparent dome and structural design provide excellent visibility, allowing rescuers to easily monitor lip color, airway clearance, and chest movement.

• Highly Portable Soft Case: Arrives in a rugged soft case equipped with a belt strap and clip, making it effortless to carry on a uniform or attach to a trauma bag.

• 100% Latex-Free: Manufactured entirely without natural rubber latex, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions for highly sensitive pediatric patients.

• Optimal Technical Specifications: Designed with a deadspace of just 90.5 ml to ensure efficient gas exchange during pediatric rescue breathing.

Ideal Use Cases

• Pediatric nurses, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) staff, and hospital pediatric wards.

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

• School nurses, daycares, aquatic centers, and youth sports organizations.

• First responders and law enforcement officers seeking a streamlined, highly portable pediatric airway device.

Directions for Use

1. Remove the mask from the soft case and ensure the one-way valve is securely attached to the mask dome.

2. For a Child: Position the mask securely over the bridge of the child’s nose and mouth. For an Infant: Invert or adjust the circular mask over the infant’s mouth and nose, ensuring it establishes a tight seal without covering the eyes.

3. Use both hands to press the soft silicone edges firmly against the face to prevent any air leakage.

4. Carefully open the airway using a gentle head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver appropriate for the patient’s age.

5. Deliver gentle rescue breaths through the one-way valve, closely monitoring the chest for an appropriate rise and fall.

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Store the mask inside its soft case in a clean, dry environment. The device can safely be stored in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 50°C.

• Operating Conditions: Designed to function flawlessly in diverse emergency environments with an operating temperature range of -10°C to 40°C.

• Single Patient Use: To adhere strictly to infection control protocols and prevent cross-contamination, this device is designated as a single-patient-use item and should be safely discarded after a resuscitation event.

• Safety Warning: Pediatric CPR requires specialized techniques (e.g., smaller ventilation volumes). Ensure all potential users maintain current certification in Pediatric Basic Life Support (BLS).
