Choking can happen anywhere – and choking can kill in 10 minutes or less. The LifeVac® Anti-Choking Travel Kit puts the same regulated, non-invasive airway clearance device as the Home Kit into a soft, portable travel case, so you can keep it in the car, in your bag or take it on holiday.
LifeVac is a simple, non-powered suction device that helps clear a blocked airway in a choking emergency. It works on adults and children from 1 year and is easy enough for anyone to use in seconds. Each mask is colour-coded so you can quickly pick the right size.
Regulated medical device
Class I medical device, CE and UKCA marked, made in the UK.
Compact & portable
Soft travel case – ideal for the car glovebox, a bag or travelling.
Children & adults
Four colour-coded masks, from paediatric to large adult.
Free replacement
If you ever use your LifeVac in a real rescue, it is replaced free of charge.
Important: LifeVac is a second-line treatment. It does not replace calling 112 or performing standard choking first aid, and should only be used if the standard choking rescue protocol has failed. For choking victims aged 1 year and over.
Beware of counterfeits: only purchase genuine, regulated LifeVac® products. Read more about the recall of counterfeit devices.

Manufacturer / distributor data. Masks are single use.
LifeVac® is designed for use after basic choking first aid (such as back blows and abdominal thrusts) has failed. It's as easy as Place – Push – Pull:
- Place: fit the correctly sized mask over the nose and mouth to form a good seal.
- Push: hold the mask in place and press the handle down with your other hand.
- Pull: without breaking the seal, pull the handle up in a short, quick motion. Repeat until the airway is clear or help arrives.
This works whether the casualty is standing, sitting or lying down. Watch the official LifeVac® choking emergency training video.
Note: always follow established first aid protocols first, and call emergency services (112) immediately in a choking emergency.
Before you ever need it, take a few minutes to learn how LifeVac works. We strongly recommend every owner:
- Watches the training video and the 3D demonstration.
- Practises with the test mask.
- Takes the short online quiz to earn a LifeVac training certificate.
- Keeps the instructions with the device.
