First Aid Supplies Plus Product Spotlight — The Pocket Bag Valve Mask (BVM)

An excellent product offered by First Aid Supplies Plus is the Pocket BVM (Bag Valve Mask). This is a hand-held disposable device for manual resuscitation and emergency respiratory support for adult patients.

This device is designed for one-time patient use; however it can be re-folded for training purposes. It is ideal in either emergency or clinical settings and replaces any standard BVM combining all components and operational capabilities into one compact unit.

The Pocket BVM is easy to use, prevents operational fatigue, requires minimum pressure to be compressed and, due to its design, quickly recovers its shape. The Pocket BVM Manual Resuscitator enhances performance and reliability. All equipment complies with the safety standards.

For more information about the BVM, contact First Aid Supplies Plus online or call us at 1-888-385-6363.
