LifeVac is a non-powered single patient, portable suction apparatus developed to save the life of a choking victim. We're on a mission to save lives. #savealife The vision of LifeVac came from a story that Arthur Lih, founder and president of LifeVac, heard of a woman in a hospital wailing over the death of her young son. The cause of death was that a grape had gotten lodged into his windpipe and the Heimlich maneuver failed. Once he was familiarized with this case, he set out to invent an apparatus that could clear the airway of any choking victim to save lives. We are on a mission to have LifeVac in homes, schools, restaurants, nursing homes, airplanes, etc. Our goal is to save as many lives as possible throughout the world.
