EMS
At an accident or rescue site, time is always of the essence. And with NuMask, time is on your side. Our intraoral design creates a snorkel-like seal in seconds, unaffected by facial hair, obesity, lack of dentition or facial trauma. You get a solid, leak-free seal easily, every time. Single user operation and an available Retention Shield for hands-free transports and extractions free you to tend to other patient needs. When life is in the balance, you can count on NuMask.
TESTIMONIALS
"The whole crew here at Stockton Springs Ambulance thinks that the NuMask is the best thing since sliced bread."
Charles Hare, Director, Stockton Springs Ambulance, Stockton Springs, ME
"Absolutely a great product. I find the NuMask easy to use, and the seal is more effective than the [common] mask."
Byron McMichael, NREMT, Morgan City, LA
“I believe this product is far superior for basic airway management than its predecessor the conventional face mask, due to simplicity of use, size, and durability.”
SSG Jason Rousseau, US Army, Special Forces Group (Airborne) Medic, Fort Campbell, KY
“In the rescue environment, our patients can be in some pretty tight spots. I need to be able to maintain a seal with as little effort as possible and from any position. The NuMask airway allows for this flexibility.”
Corey Ricketson, Paramedic, Austin, TX
"It works great and is much easier to carry than the standard facemask when free space is limited."
Jeffery Metzger, MD, Medical Director, Dallas Police Department, SWAT Physician, Dallas, TX
"The grip with the NuMask is incredibly easy and comfortable to maintain, and bagging a patient by myself is no problem. It is also great being able to suction right through the NuMask without having to remove it from the patient. Thanks!"
Ben Harris, EMT, Sun City, CA
"Often, I am the first and only EMT at a scene for quite a lengthy time. I usually don't have any problems keeping a patent airway in a patient. I tried the NuMask out with a couple different BVM's, and it really makes a difference with volume, complete seal-no leaks...”
“A lot of new products actually make the job more difficult, but the NuMask was a real gem. I'm in favor of any device that gives the patient a better chance, inventors of products like this are hero's in my opinion."
Chris Kelley, Rural EMT, Sullivan Co., PA
"The NuMask is awesome!"
Joseph Johnson, NREMT-B, Medical Officer, Houston River Fire Dept., Westlake, LA
“The NuMask is a great addition to the medic's airway repertoire. For short-term ventilation, there isn't a better product; the NuMask is smaller and lighter than standard face masks. It should be a welcome addition to any Wilderness EMT or SWAT medic's kit!”
Ben Dowdy B.S., NREMT-P, WALS, Paramedic/Tactical Medic, Instructor, Wilderness Medical Associates/Backcountry Rescue Institute, Richmond, KY
