What is the MED-TAC Adult Bag Valve Mask? The MED-TAC Adult Bag Valve Mask (BVM) is a manual pulmonary resuscitator for BLS-level respiratory support of non-breathing or inadequately breathing adult patients. Available in Adult Mask Size 5 (SKU: LX-BVM-A-1) and Small Adult Mask Size 4 (SKU: LX-BVM-A-2). Weight: 10 oz. Designed for BLS kits, EMS bags, and vehicle first aid supplies. Provides positive-pressure ventilation without electricity — the core tool of basic respiratory support in pre-hospital and emergency settings.

Product Overview
The bag valve mask (BVM) — also called a manual pulmonary resuscitator — is the fundamental tool for assisted ventilation in emergency medicine. When a patient is not breathing or is breathing inadequately, the BVM delivers positive-pressure breaths through a tight-fitting face mask, pushing air (or oxygen-enriched air) into the lungs. The MED-TAC Adult BVM is designed as a reliable, cost-effective option for outfitting BLS kits, fire/EMS bags, vehicle trauma kits, and basic life support training environments.
Two mask sizes are available: Size 5 for average to larger adults, and Size 4 for smaller adults. Selecting the correct mask size is important for achieving an adequate seal — a leaking mask reduces tidal volume delivery and diminishes ventilation effectiveness. The reservoir bag attachment enables oxygen-enriched ventilation when connected to a supplemental oxygen source, elevating the delivered FiO2 from room air (~21%) toward 85–90% with proper flow rates.
Research by CoTCCC and the American Heart Association has highlighted that adult BVMs with 1,900 mL bags tend to cause providers to over-ventilate patients — delivering tidal volumes well above the recommended 500–600 mL. CoTCCC's 2024 airway update notes that pediatric-sized BVMs (1,000 mL bags) may actually deliver more appropriate adult tidal volumes. Providers should be trained to squeeze only approximately one-third of the bag with one hand to approximate the 500–600 mL target for average adults.
All products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors. CoTCCC recommendation status verified where applicable. Ships from MED-TAC International, Pembroke Pines, FL — clinician-founded, veteran-led, SDVOSB-certified.
