Better CPR
we help CPR providers
better mask ventilation seal
During respiratory depression states, oxygenation and ventilation will prevent hypoxemia, hypercarbia, cerebral anoxia and death.
Learn how we can help improve your team´s CPR results
The Mask Ventilation Grip will:
- Assist the inexperienced for proper mask seal and hand placement while anteriorizing the mandible
- Aid the practitioner with small hands to create a mask seal
- Aid the practitioner with patient anatomical challenges to mask ventilation
About the device:
In attending many CPR events, I noticed the deficiency of hospital staff with proper Bag-mask-ventilation technique. Without proper technique, patients become acidotic and hypoxemic making positive outcomes while performing CPR more challenging.
This innovative device to be used as an adjunct to most commercially available face mask to assist the practitioner with mask ventilation.
I believe the device can help with the following:
- Reduces learning curve with the inexperienced while forcing the practitioner to hold the wings with their palm and/or thenar eminence while grabbing the mandible allowing anterior advancement and proper mask positioning
- Helps create a better mask seal for practitioners with small hands
- Helps create a better mask seal for patients with large faces / beards
- A disposable adjunct that can fit over any face mask for bag-Mask ventilation
- Universally adaptable for Emergency services, CPR and Anesthesiology services.
CPR ventilation made easy

FOUNDATIONS FOR THE INVENTION
Teaching basic airway management skills has become my passion. Learning to mask ventilate precedes the skill to intubate. Mask ventilation requires lots of practice and is technically challenging. I recognized that many of anesthesia providers are either new providers and/or have small hands. They both struggle to maintain an adequate mask seal with mask ventilation. Mask ventilation difficulties arise from either provider and/or patient anatomical challenges.
