ABSTRACT:
A medical device for enabling a rescuer to administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a victim while maintaining a sanitary barrier between victim and rescuer, composed of: a sheet of a flexible material forming a barrier to micro-organisms, the sheet being dimensioned to completely cover the victim's mouth and having an opening surrounded by a portion of the sheet which is shaped to allow the rescuer's lips to form an air-tight seal with the victim's lips; a tubular member defining a confined air passage extending through the opening and having a first portion located to be inserted into the mouth of the rescuer and a second portion located to be inserted to the victim's mouth when the sheet is in place; a one-way valve fastened to the tubular member for permitting free passage of air only from the rescuer to the victim; and at least one rigid tubular member associated with the first-recited tubular member and cooperating with the one-way valve in order to render the operation of the valve substantially insensitive to any physical forces applied to the tubular member.
