MILITARY
Our ventilation systems are designed to exceed the expectations of military medics. With battle-grade dependability and durability, our one-size-fits-all mask quickly creates a leak-free, snorkel-like seal every time. In stark contrast to common face masks, a NuMask seal is never compromised by facial hair or facial trauma. One, ultra-portable size means less gear to hump. With single provider operation and an available hands-free Retention Shield, difficult extractions are not only safer for the victim; having the ability to divert your attention to combatants could save your life as well.
TESTIMONIALS
“We need to train our new first responders on the value of the mask in the field.”
“Loved the size and versatility.”
“It was really easy to use, portable and should be added to field units accessories kits.”
-HQ AFSOC/SGR, Medical Modernization, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Medical Equipment Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E)
“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, SFG (Airborne) Medic, Fort Campbell, KY
“I find that the NuMask is easy to use and creates a leak-free seal, even in patients with significant maxillofacial trauma. I will for sure be using the NuMask for my upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.”
Simon, Medical Technician, Junior Leader, 1 Field Ambulance, Canadian Forces, AB
"The NuMask makes using a BVM a one person skill, efficiently giving the patient better ventilation and oxygenation."
Brian Tiner, US Army, Fort Stewart EMS, Hinesville, GA
"I recently used the NuMask on a car accident victim and it worked great."
MSG Michael McGouldrick, USAR, 4225 USAH, Fort Harrison, MT
"The NuMask is a for sure airway device. It works great on difficult airway patients, even those who are hard to intubate. I am training my classes using the NuMask."
Brenton Albritton, State of LA 68W Training NCO, Combat Medic, US Army, Farmerville, LA
“The NuMask is a great upgrade from the common facemask!”
SSG Kenneth Mlynarek, USA MEDCOM, Fort Sam Houston, TX
“I love it. It creates a better seal…and you can ventilate a lot easier with this than the pocket mask.”
SSG Billy Barnett, Combat Medic, Training Coordinator & Instructor, Fort Hood, TX
“Everyone liked the way the NuMask felt and worked. It was definitely easier to get a good seal than it could be with the traditional mask.”
SSG Crystal Dunn, Combat Medic, Healthcare NCO, US Army, Red House, WV
