O2PAK - Compact, non explosive, oxygen source right at the point of injury

Aug. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- COMBAT CRITICAL CARE, a subsidiary of Pacific Precision Products, proudly announces the launch of a very unique product - the O2PAK CHEMICAL OXYGEN GENERATOR

The O2PAK provides armed  forces the capability to provide oxygen , immediately at the point of contact, to battlefield casualties within seconds of injury, thereby increasing chances of survival and recovery in cases of life-threatening injury.

The O2PAK is a compact, lightweight, hand-held unit (9 inches/ 23 centimeter high, for 2.8 pounds/ 1,3 kilogram) and is small enough  to be carried by every soldier in a standard military backpack - it is activated within seconds, delivering 99% pure oxygen at a flow-rate of 4-to 8  LPM for 20-25 minutes in any position (vertical, horizontal).  The O2PAK is a single-use/disposable source of oxygen that can   be very rapidly deployed and activated  in the most challenging or stressful  situations. .  

The O2PAK has been specifically designed to address field requirements  and is qualified for use in hostile and inaccessible environments (extreme high/low temperatures, pressure, humidity) as well as high altitudes (up 12 000 m/40 000 ft).  Extensive scientific research and development and testing has be done under a wide variety of operational conditions to prove safety and efficacy - these include medical, ballistic, blast and fire tests.  The O2PAK has been cleared by the  FDA.

The O2PAK is not pressurised, requires no filling or mixing, no maintenance and has an extra-long shelf-life of 4 years.  Solid-state chemical oxygen is utilised to produce oxygen, thereby eliminating the risk of explosion under enemy fire or hazardous conditions (eg. mine/IED detonation).  It does not require electricity, battery connection or recharging and can be stored under severe conditions for prolonged periods, immediately ready for use when required.

The O2PAK is particularly suitable for units  operating in abnormal and remote environments who are exposed to a high risk of serious injury - these include special operations forces, early entry and rapidly mobile land forces, airborne forces, marines, navy divers, demining/ EOD engineers, peacekeeping forces, SWAT teams, search and rescue teams, and disaster relief organizations.

The O2PAK is also ideal for storage and readily-available use in a variety of military vehicles such as mine proof vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, NBC protected vehicles, fire fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, tanks, helicopters and naval vessels.
