The microvent mariner
kit is designed for use in an emergency when breathing has
stopped or respiratory assistance is needed. It can be used
with a rescue stretcher or to deal with a complicated rescue
where the duration of normal resuscitators is insufficient.
A casualty/patient
harness helps to move casualty, stretcher and resuscitator
safely – together. Head harness and hook ring hold the resuscitation
face mask to casualty during rescue. The head harness is retained
to the casualty harness preventing loss. Integral head positioning
feature helps keep casualty airway open during rescue.
The microVENT has
a remarkably efficient use of oxygen, that long duration is
doubled by operating from two cylinders - often over 90 minutes.
The oxygen cylinders are automatically used one before the
other and the system also enables continuous use of the resuscitator
while an empty cylinder is exchanged.
