As many of our readers already know, here at crosslr we are always on the lookout for new ingenious and helpful devices.

But we also get a lot of letters from readers telling us about their experiences with products, which they've often seen in viral posts on social media.

As in this case.

Bernadette, a young mother, shared with us her touching experience with a revolutionary life-saving device called the LifeVac:

"I remember it like yesterday. My 13-month-old son Elliott was sitting in his high chair, eating flat pretzels like he had a million times before. But this time, something was different. We normally can't get him to keep quiet, yet all of a sudden, he began to silently choke.

I'll never forget the horror in my husband's eyes as he realized what was happening: Elliot was choking – he couldn't breathe. As he gasped, breathless, we both leaped to our feet. Thankfully, my husband knew what to do.

He rushed to the kitchen and grabbed our LifeVac – the device that saved Elliot's life.

We took him out of his seat, laid him on the floor, and put the LifeVac over his face. After one hard pump the pretzel was removed and Elliot, despite being shaken up, was fine. Thankfully LifeVac worked!

It was like a miracle.

Had I not seen a viral post for LifeVac and decided that the price was worth ensuring that my child would be saved during a choking emergency, I'm sure we would have had a much different and awful rest of our year and life.

Thank you LifeVac from the bottom of our hearts for keeping our family together. These days, I'm happy to tell my story. LifeVac has become my go-to gift for baby showers ... but as I've learned, it's not just useful for children.

I'm incredibly grateful to the founder who took it upon himself to bring LifeVac to life, and I hope this review has helped you realize just how big of a breakthrough this device is!"

LifeVac is an airway clearance device that quickly and safely removes obstructions when someone is choking. Unlike back slaps and abdominal thrusts, LifeVac uses suction to smoothly remove the object instead of using blunt force.

You use it after attempting back slaps and abdominal thrusts (if possible). It's like a "safety net" for when all else fails. This device can be used on both children (over 22lbs) and adults since it includes two mask sizes.

You can even use LifeVac to save yourself from choking! Clinical studies have proven LifeVac to be 100% effective to date. Even better, you don't need a special training course to use it or a prescription to buy it.

It's a major breakthrough in medical science, and it wouldn't be surprising when every household, restaurant, and retirement home has a set of LifeVacs on hand. LifeVac really works – and it's already saved 246 lives.

Using LifeVac is easy: Place the suction device over the victim's nose and mouth, push down on the handle to compress the unit, pull up with a swift tug. It is as simple as that. LifeVac creates a seal around the victim's mouth, which creates a vacuum.

In most cases, the object will be removed on the first pull – but you can repeat this process again if needed.

Think of LifeVac like a fire extinguisher. You may not always need it but you should ALWAYS have one. Also like a fire extinguisher, LifeVac is ready to be used within seconds. It's painless and doesn't require physical strength thanks to its innovative design.

"Each LifeVac 'Home Kit' comes with everything you need to save a choking victim with LifeVac – including an adult mask, a child mask, and a practice mask. This means one device is equipped to cover your whole family with adult and pediatric masks.

If you or a loved one spends lots of time away from the house, like at work or at school, you can also add the Travel Kit to your order – perfect for the office drawer, glovebox, and even your child's classroom.

Despite its recent release, LifeVac is making waves across the world already. Stories have poured in from families, retirement homes, and restaurants, while thousands of homes have been equipped.

Of course, there's also real science-backed research behind it. This is exactly why doctors are now strongly recommending LifeVac – especially for anyone living alone, young children, seniors, the obese, pregnant women, and those prone to choking.

Medical professionals, policemen, doctors, teachers, and all other emergency responders are all raving about LifeVac. Because virtually anyone can use LifeVac, there's really no place that shouldn't have one readily available – LifeVac should be in every home, office, school, daycare center, retirement home, and restaurant!

LifeVac gives you peace of mind – although hopefully you don't have to use it. But it will prevent so many deaths that could have been avoided. And more importantly, you'll feel calm when you have one around.

When someone starts choking, you feel trapped. Your adrenaline rushes, and you wish you had an easy answer – a silver bullet that could make it all go away. Now that silver bullet finally exists.

Despite being released recently, it's already saved 246 lives – of all ages, and it's been proven to be 100% effective to date – with no adverse effects. And not only that: Over 100,000 LifeVacs have already been sold in 40 countries!
