Why do CPR manikins need face shields?

Face shields give each learner a clean barrier for rescue breaths, keeping manikin practice hygienic when people take turns. A fresh shield per learner is standard practice in CPR training.

How often should I replace manikin lung bags?

Replace lung bags when they are damaged or soiled, and follow the manikin manufacturer's guidance. Many trainers use a fresh lung bag or airway per learner or per session for hygiene.

Are CPR consumables specific to the manikin brand?

Often yes. Prestan face shields and lung bags differ from Laerdal airways and faces, so match the consumable to your manikin brand and model for the correct fit.

How do I clean CPR manikins between users?

Wipe manikin faces and surfaces with an appropriate disinfectant or manikin wipe between users, and replace single-use items like face shields. This keeps sessions hygienic across a class.

Can I buy CPR training supplies in bulk?

Yes. Face shields, lung bags and wipes are available in bulk packs and rolls, which brings the per-learner cost down for trainers running regular or large courses.

What is a CPR pocket mask for?

A CPR pocket mask is a barrier device for giving rescue breaths to a real casualty, with a one-way valve for hygiene. It is a common addition to first aid kits and training setups.
