While toddlers and the elderly are more at risk of choking, thousands of vibrant, healthy adults die each year from choking, most always on food.
The Dechoker For Adults
While we have documented the hazards of choking in young children and those over 75 years of age, healthy adults accidentally choke to death every few hours.
Needlessly.
In fact, food-choking kills more people than firearms.
And we will be the first to agree that the Heimlich Maneuver has saved countless lives.
But it doesn’t always work.
Or there may be no trained personnel to administer it.
Or the victim may be too frail or too heavy to perform it.
Or, you may be alone. And Choking.
And for those reasons and more, the Dechoker saves the day.
The Dechoker For Adults
The Dechoker is an FDA registered life-saving medical device which can be used for choking first aid on anyone, regardless of age, illness, disorder, or other other health-related condition. With very little training, a parent can use a Dechoker on their child to prevent an accidental choking death.
Here in the US, according to The National Safety Council, 5,051 people died from choking deaths in 2015. This equates to approximately 14 people each day.
What is the Dechoker for Adults? A Life Saving Device
The Dechoker is a revolutionary FDA registered medical device to act immediately in a choking emergency. This first-aid device can be used to save lives at home and public spaces such as restaurants, schools, office buildings, sports centers, airplanes, boats, general transportation, etc. The Dechoker also provides another choking therapy option for EMS, ambulances, hospitals, health centers, police and emergency services. Choking is a potentially lethal situation.
A medical emergency. And seconds count.
Time is of The Essence
0-4 minutes: Brain Damage Unlikely- 4-6 minutes: Brain Damage Possible
- 6-10 minutes: Brain Damage Likely
- 10+ minutes: Probable Brain Death
- Average Emergency Response Time: 7-12 minutes
There are also millions of individuals with special medical conditions that increase the risk of choking, such as those suffering from asthma, dysphagia, swallowing disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, etc.
The Dechoker device helps complement the Heimlich maneuver, which can not be effected effectively on many occasions, either because of lack of specialized personnel or because of intrinsic limitations to those affected, especially pregnant women, the elderly, obese people and small children/toddlers. This practice also has possible side effects such as fracture of ribs and perforation of abdominal organs.
What is the Dechoker? A Life Saving Device Anyone Can Use
Dechoker provides a fast and easy rescue route to solve a choking emergency. It acts by suction that evacuates the obstruction of the airway. It is a very simple device to use that all must have in case of a choking emergency. Dechoker has been carefully designed to be used by non-specialized personnel and can be administered by any individual. Even a child can use it on his mother. You can even use the Dechoker on yourself in case of choking while alone.
The Dechoker comes in 3 sizes, Toddler, Child and Adult.
