Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a CPR face shield and a pocket mask?
▼
A face shield is a lightweight, single-use barrier placed over the casualty's face during rescue breaths, offering basic protection with minimal bulk. A pocket mask is a more structured device that creates a firmer seal over the mouth and nose, allowing for more effective ventilation. The CPR facemask in this collection comes with a case, making it suitable for carrying in a first-aid kit or on a person.
Are the CPR supplies in this collection single-use?
▼
The face shield and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation aid are intended for single use, in line with standard infection control practice. The CPR facemask with case is a reusable device, though the one-way valve filter should be replaced after each use. Check individual product listings for specific guidance on cleaning and reuse where applicable.
