Ultralite™ and ultra affordable!

Admittedly, I'm not as young as I use to be. Carrying 30 pounds of Laerdal Little Annes up four flights of stairs sure was taking a toll on my knees and back. By the time class started, exhaustion had already stolen most of my strength.  I love teaching and didn't want to abandon my passion, but the arduous journey to reach some client's classrooms forced me to consider this option.

 Enter the Prestan® Professional Ultralite™ manikin. A godsend at only 13 pounds for the 4-pack! But what about the quality? At  $340 for the 4-pack, how good can they really be?  Not surprisingly, I found them to have the same quality and durability we've all come to expect from Prestan® Professional products. The CPR training manikins have neither a compression depth clicker, nor LED rate monitors, but truthfully, I don't miss them. Especially if we're doing a recertification class where the students are experienced CPR practitioners. 

Fellow instructors who currently use other portable manikins such as Actar, CPR Prompt and Basic Buddy will prefer the quality of the Ultralite™ for their CPR training-on-the-go. And you can ditch that lung bag insertion tool!

Schools, aquatic centers, mass training centers as well as general work place trainers will appreciate this latest offering from Prestan. The vinyl and latex free Ultralites, while only available in medium skin tone, offer a quality choice in CPR training manikins for budget-conscious organizations.    

Prestan Professional's most portable manikin training kit includes: 4 Manikin Torsos, 4 Manikin Heads, 4 Compression Pistons, Nylon Piston Bag, 50-pack Lung Bags, Nylon Carrying Case with Detachable Shoulder Strap and an Instruction Sheet. 

Features of the Prestan® Ultralite™ manikin:

• Uniquely fast and easy set-up.
• Stackable torsos and heads generate a compact package for transporting multiple units.
• Clamshell torso opening provides quick access for the easy-to-insert lung bag.
• Realistic skin resists dirt, grime and grease.
• Adequate upper chest sizing facilitates AED pad placement and training.
• Visual anatomy landmarks reinforce proper hand placement for compressions.
• Head-tilt illustrates how to open the airway and allows each student to observe a true chest rise when proper head-tilt chin-lift technique is used.
• Life tested to a half-million compressions.
• Manikins are easy to clean and capable of being decontaminated per CDC guidelines.
• Three-year factory warranty against defects in workmanship.

The MCR Medical CPR mask drought is finally over!

BVM-3081

 Summer sales have been especially brisk this year.  I suppose that's true for the season too. I distinctly remember telling someone, "you know, it's just six months til Christmas!"  Now, it's a little more than four months!  Lamentably, where has the time gone?
 
Looks too, like everyone is having their previously strangled training budget-belts slightly loosened. They can replace their 15+ year old CPR training manikins with new Prestan ones. I know I for one am getting much too old to lug those Laerdal Annes up and down flights of stairs. 

I'm looking forward to having one of my favorite products back in stock, our Adult/Child Training BVM in a hard case. The infant is great too, but as an old CPR rescuer, I never learned to resuscitate using a truly infant sized BVM.  We worked with what we had and nine times out of ten, that was an adult Ambu bag.  

The carrying case that holds the training BVM's contents is awesome.  Roomy enough to add other training necessities and sturdy enough to last through a couple drops - oopsie!  My students get a real feeling for what can be described as the art of resuscitating using a bag valve mask; without fail they say it's not as easy as it looks on TV!  That comment always makes me laugh.

Our restocking shipment is set to arrive this Monday, August 18, 2014.  In that shipment will be our training masks (MCRTM-I / MCRTM-A) and yes, they will still come with free training valves (MCRTV)!  Also coming are RM-2033s, RM-2071s and our adult/child as well as infant training BVMs.      

Thank you everyone for your patience during our supply drought.  It is very much appreciated as is your continued shopper loyalty.  We promise to keep bringing you great CPR and First Aid supplies! Now, if we could only get the American Heart Association to let us stock their books and DVDs.....

Our new website - now open!

Great for general hand protection, vinyl gloves are a household and training staple!

SPFV1104

Looking for general purpose medical and/or training use gloves? Surecare offers quality soft, supple beaded-cuff examination gloves for single use in non-sterile environments.

Sold in a dispenser-ready box that holds 100 gloves, they are also available by the case. The case contains 1,000 gloves packaged as 10 boxes. 

100% latex and powder-free exam gloves comply with US ASTM standards.  That means you can use them to refill your OSHA required first aid kits!
  
The smooth finish gloves, made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are manufactured with sensitive individuals in mind as they contain no protein. Why are protein and powder free gloves recommended for sensitive persons? This answer from the CDC:
 
      Proteins responsible for latex allergies are attached to glove powder. When powdered gloves are worn, more latex protein reaches the skin. Also, when gloves are put on or removed, particles of latex protein powder become aerosolized and can be inhaled, contacting mucous membranes. As a result, allergic health care personnel and patients can experience symptoms related to cutaneous, respiratory, and conjunctival exposure. Health care personnel can become sensitized to latex proteins after repeated exposure. Work areas where only powder-free, low-allergen (i.e. reduced-protein) gloves are used show low or undetectable amounts of allergy-causing proteins.

Whether teaching a CPR/AED and First Aid class, coloring your hair, or working in food preparation, vinyl gloves work well for general hand protection. Shop our store and stock up today!

Responding without hesitation

Ambu^® CPR Res-Cue Key^® Keychain, CB-3021

CPR masks are necessary while performing CPR or rescue breathing as they help prevent transmission of harmful bacteria.

While we now train predominately with rescue or pocket masks, these aren't always practical to carry around with us on a lanyard, on our key ring, or even in our purse.

For a great any patient, any place alternative, Ambu manufactures this CPR mask and pouch. Ambu, a worldwide leader in professional rescuer equipment is a name synonymous with quality resuscitation supplies Their products can be found anywhere patient care is being performed - from the ambulance to the OR, Ambu is designed, used and trusted by those in the emergency response and patient care field.  

This individually packaged CPR key chain is branded with the Ambu logo. The 2" x 2" ultra-compact, easy to use CPR Res-Cue Key features a CPR face shield with a one-way valve that prevents contamination of the outer surface of the mask. The woven nylon pouch even has a standard key ring hook so you can easily take it with you - on a keychain, belt, or on a lanyard.

Resuscitation is simplified as the latex free mask secures over the patient's ears for hands-free rescuer operation. Essential operating instructions are printed on the semi-transparent barrier, which also allows the rescuer to monitor the patient's color and response. It's great as an all around CPR mask, as one size fits children to adults.

We all learned in class to wear our PPE during CPR. Now you can respond with greater confidence knowing you'll be protecting both you and your patient as you work toward ROSC - a successful resuscitation!
