Product Description
The MDI CPR Microshield is a mouth barrier to prevent cross-contamination when performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. This Personal Protective Equipment is used during CPR (artificial compressions, airway, and breathing) to protect a rescuer by providing an ultra-thin barrier at the patient's mouth. It is compact and comes in a small orange package to be easy to locate in an emergency. It's placed where it can be readily available in an emergency such as an automobile glove box, first aid kit, or purse.
The CPR Microshield Keychain is another option to have the protection in a convenient keychain for ultimate safekeeping and accessibility.
The MDI Microshield features a flexible and clear surface area with a 1-3/4-inch slim ventilator tube that's inserted into the patient's mouth. This protects the rescuer from any contact with the patient's saliva, blood, and vomit. The ventilator tube's one-way safety valve design prevents backflow during resuscitation. A clear view of the patient's face also helps the rescuer keep an eye on the patient's lip color.
