Gifts That Can Save Lives: New Products Reinforce the Importance of Emergency Preparation
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - November 28, 2007) - Serious medical emergencies can happen any
place, at any time, to anyone. But a series of gifts available this
holiday season are designed to help prepare the ones you love.
LYFETYMER®, CPR Teddy™, and First Voice™ software and first aid kit
will help ensure every family is properly equipped and trained to handle
the unexpected.
These three products make a great gift for that person on your holiday
shopping list who wants to be ready for anything. From cuts and scrapes,
to American Heart Association-approved CPR techniques, these products help
save lives. Designed to fit in a first aid kit, or blend in with
comfortable home décor, LYFETYMER, CPR Teddy and First Voice will be there
when you need them, at home or on the road.
LYFETYMER
LYFETYMER ACM (Audible Compression Metronome) provides both an audible
voice count and visual cues that instruct a user on the correct timing of
each chest compression and rescue breath. The patent pending device
incorporates a flashlight to check for objects lodged in the throat, and
comes with a belt loop/clip pouch that also holds a filtered face shield
and a pair of gloves -- everything you would need to safely and effectively
perform CPR. LYFETYMER is used by educators, trainers, first responders,
fire departments and police academies, as well as many safety conscious
Americans who have taken CPR courses. LYFETYMER provides an effective and
inexpensive way to maintain proper CPR skills, which diminish over time if
not practiced regularly. LYFETYMER is available online at
www.lyfetymer.com for $24.95.
CPR Teddy
The CPR Teddy is a novel approach to answering the question every parent
asks at one time or another, "What will I do if my child chokes or stops
breathing?" A cute teddy bear on a mission to save lives, CPR Teddy is a
tool for parents, grandparents, and babysitters to practice and learn
infant and child choking rescue and CPR skills at home. Voice prompts in
the bear tell you what to do. Lights in the bear's bowtie tell you if
you're pushing the chest too hard, too soft, or just right. He even comes
with a Training DVD that includes instruction on First Aid and preventing
injuries. The inventors of CPR Teddy, an emergency room physician and his
daughter, recognized that few people remember how to perform CPR shortly
after taking a class. CPR Teddy is a non-threatening and easy-to-use
practice aid that is a welcome sight in any home. CPR Teddy is available
online at www.CPRTeddy.com for $79.95 plus shipping.
First Voice Software and First Aid Kit
First Voice puts exact treatment protocols for over 30 types of medical
emergencies at your fingertips with audio and visual instructions for
accurate treatment. Conceived by a trauma nurse and used in hundreds of
industries as a stand-alone, rugged hardware unit, the revolutionary First
Voice software is now available to help individuals and families on the
go. Called ResQR, the software will work on PCs, GPS hardware units, Smart
Phones and Pocket PCs. Unlike other first aid reference software on the
market, ResQR is an easily accessible talking first aid software
application -- giving verbal as well as visual instructions and providing
assistance with emergency triage. The First Voice ResQR software costs
$49.99, and is available at www.think-safe.com.
First Voice software, installed on vehicle or personal GPS systems, Pocket
PCs or Smart phones, is designed to interact with color-coded and organized
first aid kits. Think-Safe's Basic and Deluxe Response First Aid Kits were
designed for everyone, but are especially beneficial to on-the-go families
or individuals involved in team sports, camping, swimming, or any other
active activities. The kit helps treat injuries and medical emergencies
such as amputations, sprains, fractures, eye injuries, bleeding, heat
stress, diabetic shock, severe allergic reactions and much more. Similar
to what professionals use, the prepackaged supplies contain more than
standard first aid kits, and allow any responder to treat a multitude of
injuries. The supplies are held in a durable bag that includes a
color-coded handbook which details over 30 major emergencies proper
treatment for each, including step-by-step CPR instructions and
illustrations.
Think-Safe's Basic and Deluxe first aid kits are priced at $179.00and
$229.00 respectively. Both are available online at www.think-safe.com.
