Replacement Valve for Rebreath Pocket Mask, Latex Free
A disposable, latex-free replacement valve for a rebreath pocket mask, used to keep resuscitation equipment working correctly after the original fitted valve has worn out.
The Replacement Valve is a spare part designed for use with a rebreath pocket mask, the kind of one way valve mask used during rescue breathing to protect the rescuer from direct contact with a casualty's exhaled air and bodily fluids. Over time, or after repeated use and cleaning, the valve in a pocket mask can wear out or need replacing, and rather than discarding the whole mask, this valve allows the same mask body to keep being used with fresh, reliable function.
It is disposable, so it is intended to be fitted once and replaced again when needed rather than cleaned and reused indefinitely, and it is 100 percent latex free, an important consideration for both rescuers and casualties who may have a latex allergy. The valve is supplied non-sterile, in keeping with its role as a mechanical spare part rather than a wound care product.
Keeping a stock of replacement valves alongside pocket masks is good practice for first aid kits, workplaces, ambulance services and training providers that rely on this equipment being ready to use at short notice.
