Medical Pocket Mask

A medical pocket mask, often referred to as a CPR mask or pocket face mask, is a small, portable device used to safely deliver rescue breaths during a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedure. Designed to prevent direct contact with the patient's mouth, nose, and face, it serves as a barrier to protect the rescuer and enhance the safety of the resuscitation process. The mask typically features a flexible, dome-shaped ventilation area that fits over the patient's mouth and nose, a one-way valve to ensure air only flows to the patient and prevents bodily fluids from being transferred, and an elastic head strap to secure the mask in place. Some models come with oxygen inlet ports, allowing for supplemental oxygen to be connected if available. Compact and lightweight, the medical pocket mask is an essential tool in first aid kits for healthcare professionals, emergency responders, and trained laypersons, ensuring readiness to provide lifesaving care in emergencies.
