First Aid Shoppe Announces Their Mini CPR Mask Has Reached Number 2 In The CPR Masks Category On Amazon

May 31, 2016 – – Today Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, providers of emergency first aid and survival gear to professionals and the general public, announced that their Mini CPR Keychain Mask has reached the number two position in its category on Amazon. The Mini CPR Keychain Mask is a full-function rescue breathing barrier that folds to stow in a small nylon pouch that can fit on a key chain.

“As you can imagine, we’re excited to be making this announcement,” says Ms. Loehwing. “It’s taken a lot of hard work, beginning with a focus on a great, usable product, followed by customer successes and word of mouth, leading to sales and now here we are today. Our next goal, of course, is the number one spot, but Amazon is a global distributor with plenty of competitors in this category, so we’re thrilled to have risen this high.”

The CPR Mask comes in packs of five units or ten. Each unit is a small nylon pouch, with attached key ring, which is about the size of a standard key fob. The CPR mask folds to stow in this pouch, and is removed in a CPR emergency. The barrier is a semi-transparent shield that folds out for use. It covers the victim’s mouth and lower face, preventing contact between victim and rescue breather. Instructions are printed on the face of the barrier, and the semi-transparent shield allows monitoring of the victim’s color and response. A one-way breathing valve is at the center of the mask, ensuring airflow to the victim, and protecting the rescue breather from any discharge.

“What’s made these so popular is how easy they are to keep around,” says Ms. Loehwing. “You can hook it on with your keys and you’ll forget you even have it. Then, when an CPR emergency strikes, in the ensuing panic you’re prepared and, importantly, safe.”

The Mini CPR Mask has reached the number two spot on Amazon for CPR Masks. It comes in kits of five (5) or ten (10) masks.

May 31, 2016 – – Kevin Griffin has been chosen as one of three people to speak at the National Cancer Survivor Day, an annual treasured Celebration of Life that is held in hundreds of communities nationwide, and around the world on the first Sunday in June​. Griffin himself is a cancer survivor. His wife, Kim Griffin, wrote a book to describe his battle titled, “Love You to the Woods and Back“, encouraging people to learn more about his story and how gratitude and random acts of kindness are paving the way of his journey.

Kevin Griffin says: “I am so honored to have been asked to speak at this event. It is an opportunity for me to share my story with other people, in the hopes of giving them some inspiration. There is light at the end of the cancer tunnel, and I am living proof of that.”

The event will take place on June 5, 2016 between 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL. The event will include a picnic lunch and will follow a highly inspirational program. Entertainment and activities for all ages have been organized, and a number of exciting door prizes will also be made available.

The Morton Arboretum is located at 4100 Rt. 53 in Lisle, just north of the I-88. Those attending will have to inform the gate attendant that they are there for the Cancer Survivors’ Day Celebration, at which point they will be given free entry. Designated and reserved parking will be provided with tram transport to the event site itself. Kevin does want to inform people that the location is an uneven grass surface.

While the event is free to attend, a suggested donation of $5 per person is in place at registration. All cancer survivors, family and friends are welcome. No invitation is required. As the Vice president of Business Development at Reebie Allied in Chicago, Kevin Griffin hopes to see as many people as possible there.

The event will also be an opportunity to learn more about the author of the book. Written by his wife, it tells an emotive story of what it means to live through the cancer diagnosis of a loved one, and how to go forward from there.

Bair Hugger Lawsuit News: New Pretrial Orders Issued in Federal Forced Air Warmer Blanket Litigation, Bernstein Liebhard LLP Reports


May 31, 2016 – Federal Bair Hugger lawsuits (http://www.rxinjuryhelp.com/forced-air-warming/lawsuit/) involving a forced air warming system marketed by the 3M Company and its Arizant Healthcare, Inc. subsidiary continue to move forward in a multidistrict litigation now underway in the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota. According to a Pretrial Order issued on May 24th, the Court has approved Master Long and Short Form Complaints. Going forward, all plaintiffs filing these cases directly in the District of Minnesota are to utilize the Short Form Complaint. (In Re: Bair Hugger Forced Air Warming Products Liability Litigation – MDL No. 2666)

A second Pretrial Order issued the same day has established a Common Benefit Fee and Expense Fund. The Fund will ensure that the burden of services performed and expenses incurred by plaintiffs’ attorneys acting for the common benefit of all are fairly and equitably shared among plaintiffs and their counsel.

“Our Firm has been retained by a number of plaintiffs who allegedly developed serious post-op infections following hip and knee implant surgery that involved use of the Bair Hugger forced air warmer blanket. We are pleased with these developments, as the orders issued by the Court will facilitate the efficient progress of these cases,” says Sandy A. Liebhard, a partner at Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is offering free, no-obligation legal review to hip and knee replacement patients who allegedly developed post-operative deep joint infections due to the Bair Hugger forced air warmer system.

Bair Hugger Allegations
Court documents indicate that 269 Bair Hugger lawsuits had been filed in the District of Minnesota as of May 15th. The Bair Hugger is a forced air warming system that is used by thousands of hospitals across the country to prevent hypothermia in patients undergoing surgery. The apparatus consists of a portable heater that is connected to a disposable, single use blanket by a flexible plastic hose. During surgery, the blanket blows warmed air over the patient, helping to maintain an optimum body temperature.

Plaintiffs who have filed forced air warmer lawsuits against 3M and Arizant Healthcare claim that the Bair Hugger system suffers from a design defect which can cause contaminated air from the operating room floor to come into contact with the sterile surgical site. Should this occur, hip and knee replacement patients are far more likely to develop a serious deep joint infection following their procedure. Plaintiffs further claim that the companies have been aware of this issue for years, but have continued to aggressively and misleadingly market the Bair Hugger as safe for use in orthopedic surgery.

Individuals who were diagnosed with a post-operative deep joint infection following hip or knee replacement surgery with a Bair Hugger blanket may be entitled to compensation for their resulting medical treatments, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. To learn more about filing a Bair Hugger lawsuit, please visit the Firm’s website, or contact Bernstein Liebhard LLP directly by calling 800-511-5092.

No Pain, All Gain – A New Paradigm In Pain Management

May 31, 2016 – – ENSr Medical, Inc., a Chicago-based startup company, is transforming what we know about pain, and more importantly how we can effectively manage it without the use of drugs. After cutting-edge technology known as neuromodulation saved her teenage daughter’s life over ten years ago, ENSr’s founder and CEO, Helen Gracie, began a crusade to take this work to the world. Reflecting the tenacity of her efforts and the milestones being achieved, Helen has been nominated for a BIBO Award within the City of Chicago.

Ben Bradley, a spokesperson for ENSr Medical, Inc. says: “Simply being nominated for the BIBO Award by a member of the public is a real honor, in and of itself. It demonstrates how hard Helen has worked and how far she has come toward making the FIRSTtx pain management option a reality. Winning the overall title would give her mission an even louder voice and ensure thousands more suffering from chronic pain have a viable alternative to opioid medications. The BIBO platform offers an important opportunity for a significant gain in awareness of Helen’s work, so we want to encourage everybody to vote for her.”

The Beauty In / Beauty Out or BIBO Awards are based on community nominations. The organization aims to recognize those who have been able to positively revamp the image of women. Women are encouraged to participate in the various programs that BIBO has organized, enabling them to become empowered and uplifted. You can click here to support Helen and other nominees for the Award.

It’s not just those in Australian-born Gracie’s inner circle who see her worthy of the nomination. Rick E. Carter writes “My wife sustained a serious spinal cord injury over sixteen years ago which resulted in intense residual pain. She tried this technology and received six treatments, after which she was able to withdraw from all pain medications.” Additionally, the FIRSTtx medical device website (www.firsttxrelief.com) hosts a collection of unpaid video testimonials from some of those who’ve gained relief using the device.

More details about the award, the position Helen Gracie is in, and how people can vote for her, have been made available through the FIRSTtx Facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/firsttx. There’s a clear level of pride felt by the company around the nomination of their CEO for this prestigious award. As a woman, Helen has a strong focus on empowering and uplifting women herself, specifically through natural and effective pain management techniques. Votes will be accepted until June 3rd.

First Aid Shoppe Reports That Their Emergency Preparedness Kit Has Been Sized To Fit Compact Spaces

May 31, 2016 – – Today Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, providers of professional grade emergency first aid and survival kits to the general public, announced that the dimensions of their ResQue1st Emergency Preparedness & First Aid Kit have been sized to fit and stow in small areas, such as in a car glove box. The kit is 7.4 inches on its longest side, and contains 200 items having to do with first aid and survival.

“It’s incredible, actually,” says Ms. Loehwing. “What we’ve been able to get into something this compact — and it weighs less than two pounds — what we’ve fitted in here for something this size is … incredible. There are items for survival, like a poncho, a blanket, a radio, a flashlight, batteries … and a bunch of first aid items as well. Two hundred things in all, and we get it all into a kit that can fit in your glove box.”

The ResQue1st Emergency Preparedness & First Aid Kit uses the patented Easy Access Pocket System to stow and organize each individual item, making retrieval and return as easy and as fast as possible. Each item can be found quickly when needed, and is stowed as efficiently as possible, making it so the kit can maintain small overall dimensions while at the same time holding 200 different first aid and survival items.

“This is what we call a bug out bag,” says Ms. Loehwing. “It’s made to have everything you need to grab and go, to survive for several days if you have to when a disaster strikes. Of course it needs to be easy to carry, easy to throw in another bag, like a backpack, or in the car, in the glove box — basically as easy to stow as possible. With these dimensions it’s easier than ever.”

The Emergency Preparedness Kit by First Aid Shoppe is now sized small enough to fit in most compact spaces. It contains items for survival and first aid.

First Aid Shoppe Reports Sales Of Their Emergency Trauma Kit Are Trending Upward To Schools

May 31, 2016 – – Anna Loehwing, COO of First Aid Shoppe, providers of top-tier and specialized first aid and survival gear and kits, reported today that sales of their ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit to schools have been trending upward for several months. The ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit is a compact treatment kit for bleeding injuries and features an Advanced Clotting Sponge.

“There are some school mandates driving these increased sales,” says Ms. Loehwing, “but based on the feedback we’re getting it’s also being driven by a demand on the part of school administrators for an emergency solution to traumatic bleeding injuries among students or teachers, should they occur.”

Centerpiece of the ResQue 1st Emergency Trauma Kit, an Advanced Clotting Sponge employs a rapid clotting agent that accelerates the body’s natural clotting action upon contact. Instructions are printed on the packaging and it can be applied by untrained personnel. Once applied the hemostatic (clotting) agents in the sponge begin to act immediately. The kit also contains latex-free gloves, gauze, antiseptic wipes and medical tape for wound dressing. It is intended to control or stop serious bleeding until help can be obtained.

“Schools are liking this because anyone can use it,” says Ms. Loehwing. “And it’s very effective for the worst injuries. God forbid you ever have to break this out, but when you need it having one of these can save a life.”

The Emergency Trauma Kit by First Aid Shoppe contains an Advanced Clotting Sponge, using the same hemostatic agent as is employed by police, first responders, hospitals and paramedics.
