This mask is an aid in mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It limits contact between the first aider and the casualty. The breathing mask consists of a plastic cloth with a one way valve which shows which side of the mask should face upwards (green), towards the first aider, and which side should face downwards (red), in the casualty's mouth.
Clear graphic instructions printed on the cloth
Size of the plastic cloth reduces the risk of the first aider coming into contact with the casualty's blood or vomit
Mouthpiece design forces the first aider to open his/her mouth wide and press his/her lips around the casualty's to obtain a tight seal
Large vents reduce resistance and help the first aider to maintain artificial respiration for longer period of time
