Butterfly BVM™
The Butterfly BVM™ is a novel bag-valve-mask resuscitator designed to give medical personnel greater control and precision during CPR. It directly addresses the long-standing issue of patient hyperventilation by allowing users to set and limit the volume and pressure of air delivered, unlike traditional BVMs.
This device solves the critical problem of lung injury (volutrauma and barotrauma) caused by uncontrolled air delivery during manual resuscitation. It also provides a logistical advantage to emergency medical services by replacing three different-sized devices with one adjustable unit.
Target customers face the risk of inadvertently causing serious lung injury or death when using traditional BVMs due to the inability to control air volume and pressure. They also face logistical challenges in managing inventory for different patient sizes.
