Tongue Sucker to the Rescue!

Tongue Sucker to the Rescue!
Posted 2007-10-14 20:11:13
The tongue sucker was developed as a result of the 2005 London bombings. The simple suction device is kept in first aid kits for use in cases where the tongue muscle becomes limp or bunched up in the oropharynx occluding the airway. The tongue sucker will allow you to easily bring the tongue forward and free the airway until trained professionals are available.
