How to Use the Willnice Chocking Device for Effective Airway Clearance

Choking emergencies require immediate and effective response, especially when conventional methods like the Heimlich maneuver are not successful, or you are alone. The Willnice Choking Device offers an innovative solution that can be used both by individuals on themselves or on someone else. Here’s how to use this life-saving tool.

Using the Willnice Choking Device on Another Person

  1. Position the Mask: Place the mask part of the device over the person’s face, ensuring it fits snugly to prevent air from escaping. Make sure there are no gaps between the mask and the face.
  2. Downward Compression: Firmly hold the mask with one hand. With your other hand, press down on the handle quickly to create an initial force to help dislodge the obstruction.
  3. Upward Pull: After the downward compression, maintain your hold on the mask and then pull the handle upwards sharply. This creates a negative pressure that can help to suck the obstruction out from the airway.
  4. Clear the Airway: After administering the procedure, turn the person onto their side and remove any debris that may have been dislodged from the mouth. Check the device for any obstruction and be prepared to repeat the steps if necessary.

Using the Willnice Choking Device on Yourself

  1. If you find yourself alone during a choking emergency, you can still use the Willnice Choking Device effectively.
  2. Hold the mask in place with one hand, ensuring a secure fit on the face.
  3. With the other hand, depress the handle down firmly.
  4. Once the handle is depressed, swiftly pull it upward with a short, forceful tug while keeping the mask securely in place.
  5. If the person does not exhibit spontaneous respiration after using the device, immediately revert to the current choking protocol and initiate CPR.

The Willnice Chocking Device is a valuable tool for providing aid during choking emergencies, suitable for use on others and oneself. Its straightforward design allows for quick action, potentially saving lives when traditional choking response techniques are not an option. Always remember to seek medical attention after any choking incident, regardless of whether the obstruction was cleared.
