BOC RESUSCITATORS ESSENTIAL FOR DENTAL
24 September 2006 - BOC Gases

With the ability to deliver oxygen up to six times better than the mouth to mouth technique, LifeLine and LifeLine-PRO, the resuscitator kits from oxygen specialist BOC Medical are essential lifesaving tools for the dental practitioner.

LifeLine is designed for anyone with first aid training to administer oxygen in an easy to use manner. No fiddling with dials to deliver the right amount of oxygen, LifeLine has just one flow-rate setting delivering highly concentrated medical oxygen at a rapid rate of 8 litres per minute, vital in the minutes before the emergency services arrive. LifeLine-PRO is for those with an advanced knowledge of resuscitation and offers variable rates of highly concentrated oxygen up to fifteen litres a minute delivered via a bag-valve-mask.

Each LifeLine kit is supplied in a purpose-made carrier with lightweight, 4kg oxygen cylinder with two different sized airways, oxygen tubing, one-way valve, mouth-to-mouth facemask and syringe to inflate the mask seal. The kit also contains a user manual and poster for locating the equipment.

Key benefits include:
• Safety guaranteed by annual BOC check
• No capital outlay - users pay an annual service charge
• Easy to use equipment
• Lightweight, portable and easy to store
• Access to BOC team of resuscitation specialists.

Lifeline’s reliability is backed by BOC Medical’s reputation for safety; advising on the safe use of gas and gas-related equipment and providing a range of medical gases to the UK health community.

BOC’s medical marketing manager David Owers, says: “BOC has for a long time made safety a priority in everything we do. We know from talking to dentists and other health professionals, teachers, and leisure groups, all of whom have a duty to safeguard the wellbeing of others, that a quick response in an emergency is vital.”

Says Owers; “part of the response is training, but it is also about having the right equipment and the confidence that it will work when needed. Because our kit is regularly checked and maintained by the team of BOC resuscitation specialists, LifeLine and LifeLine-PRO provide the peace of mind that other resuscitators cannot.”

“The development of portable oxygen has helped improve patient care in the community with both Lifeline kits a mainstay for hundreds of dentists, paramedics, GP surgeries, primary care trusts , police, first responders throughout the UK.”

The Resuscitation Council (UK) and the First Aid Manual recommend medical oxygen as an essential tool for any medical professional’s first aid kit.
