Lifevac Device

I genuinely believe the LifeVac device will be invaluable in keeping children safe across our school and nursery. In environments where little ones are constantly exploring, learning, and growing, having an additional, reliable tool to respond to a choking emergency brings an extraordinary level of reassurance.
For parents, it offers real peace of mind knowing their children are protected by every possible measure. For our staff, it provides confidence and calm—an extra layer of support that empowers them to act swiftly and effectively should the unexpected occur.
LifeVac doesn’t just enhance safety; it strengthens trust, comfort, and the sense of security that every school and nursery community deserves.

Amazing piece of kit

As both a trainer and safety professional, I have had the opportunity to evaluate and implement the LifeVac airway clearance device in both personal and professional settings. My experience with the device has reinforced its value as a potentially lifesaving tool that complements established emergency response protocols.
From a personal perspective, I initially purchased the LifeVac as an additional layer of preparedness for my household. The device is straightforward to assemble, intuitive to use, and designed to be accessible during high-stress emergency situations. After reviewing the instructional materials and practicing with the training components, I found the process easy to understand and confidence-inspiring. Having a readily available option for airway obstruction emergencies provides an added sense of preparedness, particularly in environments with children, elderly individuals, or those at increased risk of choking incidents.
Professionally, I have incorporated LifeVac awareness and familiarisation into training programs across multiple industries, including healthcare support environments, education, hospitality, childcare, and workplace safety programs. While standard choking response procedures, such as back blows and abdominal thrusts, remain the primary interventions taught in accordance with established emergency response guidelines, the inclusion of LifeVac as an additional emergency tool has generated significant interest and engagement among trainees.
One of the device’s strongest attributes is its ease of implementation within existing training frameworks. The clear instructions, training materials, and practical demonstrations allow participants to quickly understand the intended use, indications, and limitations of the device. Across diverse professional audiences, I have consistently observed that the device enhances discussions surrounding emergency preparedness and encourages organisations to evaluate their overall response capabilities for airway obstruction incidents.
The portability and minimal maintenance requirements of the LifeVac system make it suitable for a wide range of environments, including offices, schools, care facilities, hospitality venues, and public-facing businesses. Organisation’s seeking to strengthen their emergency preparedness programs have generally viewed the device as a valuable addition to their existing safety equipment and protocols.
Overall, my experience with LifeVac has been positive both personally and professionally. While it should not replace established emergency response training or medical guidance, it serves as a practical supplemental tool that can enhance preparedness and provide additional options during critical airway obstruction emergencies. For individuals, families, and organisations seeking to improve their emergency response readiness, LifeVac represents a well-designed, user-friendly, and potentially lifesaving resource worthy of consideration.

SG Training Services cannot rate highly enough

SG Training Services cannot rate LifeVAc UK highly enough. After 1 of our trainers nearly choking and dying, as a company we approached LifeVac and completed an instructors course. We now demonstrate the effectiveness of the kit at every single training event whilst at the same time allowing students to see, feel and compare the counterfeit ones on the market.
LifeVac are an absolute pleasure to deal with, their kit is sturdy, well built and highly effective which was recently proven when a venue we had trained saved a 2yrs old life who was choking on potato. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

An absolute must have

Lifevacs are a must have they do exactly what they say. This device saved my 9 month old daughter she started choking on a biscuit that I had given her it was a complete block of the airways, her face went red and she stopped breathing if we didn't have the life vac to hand life would be different right about now but fortunately we did.
The device saved my daughter and I couldn't be more thankful they have since sent out a replacement device and mask and ive also bought a second one to keep in the pram id advise anyone to get one just incase its better to have it and not need it than to possibly lose something so special
Thank you so much to the team at life vac there customer service is exceptional

After multiple choking incidents with…

After multiple choking incidents with my sons I bought a LifeVac. Unfortunately in August 2025 my youngest son (4 nearly 5) started choking on chicken at the dinner table. After back blows not clearing the chicken, I used the LifeVac a couple of times and also did more back blows. The blockage was cleared! Ambulances are rarely going to make it to you quick enough if back blows fail so this device is a must have extra tool for a crisis!

There's nothing more precious than life, so for the safety of my family, I bought a LifeVac. I hope I won't have to use it, but for the sense of security, it's worth having. Unfortunately, too many people have died from choking. The LifeVac is a proven device that has saved thousands lives and saved countless families' tears. Remember, when purchasing, to make sure it's a genuine product and not a counterfeit.

I can’t recommend LifeVac enough

I recently purchased LifeVac and I’m really impressed with the overall quality and thought that’s gone into it. It’s very straightforward to use, with clear instructions that make it easy to understand—even in a stressful situation.

While I thankfully haven’t needed to use it in an emergency, having it at home gives me real peace of mind, especially with family around. It feels like an important addition to our first aid kit and something I’d much rather have and not need than the other way around.

Delivery was prompt and the product arrived well packaged. Overall, a great experience and a product I’d recommend for anyone looking to add an extra layer of safety at home.

As parents who lost our first born to choking, it's been (and still is) a very real fear for us with our second. These fears were realised when our baby at just before 1 year old started choking on Calpol, unfortunately given at the same time as he started fitting through a high temperature. One use of the LifeVac cleared the Calpol and, whilst still fitting, he started breathing again, bringing his colour back. 100% learn choking first aid, but I would never be without a device now 💙

Absolutely fantastic device. I bought it as a precaution and hoped I'd never use it, sadly we did, but it saved my little boys life. Everyone should have one in my opinion. Worth every single penny, a million times over. The guys at Life Vac were fantastic in the aftermath, very kind and supportive. They also sent us a free replacement. Absolutely outstanding company.

We have these in the care home I work at, so I did research beforehand after seeing an advert on social media, make sure you do your research too and read the recall for counterfeits of LifeVac! Really scary what people do to make money and put kids lives in danger! im glad I now have a genuine LifeVac. British made!

A great device made in the UK

LifeVac is a great device, and the customer service team were very helpful, as I wasn't sure if a home kit or travel kit would suit my family best. There are lots of counterfeit devices out there, but knowing that LifeVac are a UK manufacturer and are MHRA approved gives me peace of mind. The free online training was easy to access, and makes me feel confident if I ever have to use it in an emergency.
