The Dechoker ACD – Airway Clearance Device – has been developed for use in a choking emergency when existing Basic Life Support techniques have failed.
When a person’s airway is obstructed and they cannot breathe – either with food or another object – then time is absolutely critical. The hand-held Dechoker creates directed suction over the airway and is designed to remove food, liquid or other obstructions.
The team of people behind Dechoker are committed to one thing – saving lives.
Our people (we don’t have a sales team) work closely with our clients to support them when they need it – whilst providing advice and guidance for those wanting to know what they can do to reduce the risk of choking.
Dechoker uses suction to remove obstructions blocking a person’s airway and preventing them from breathing. Using suction – not force – the effect on liquids is just as impressive.
Compliance, regulation and most importantly safety are at the core of everything we do at Dechoker – and has been since day 1. If you represent a CCG, NHS Trust, Local Authority, Council or other organisation and want to know more about Dechoker please get in touch.
A Northamptonshire firm responsible for developing a pioneering device used in choking emergencies has secured a £70,000 investment.
Dechoker UK has received the finance from Enterprise Loans East Midlands through the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF).
