LifeVac - NYS PTA

LifeVac CEO and Founder, Arthur Lih was determined to develop a choking rescue device after hearing about a woman devastated by the death of her young son. A grape was lodged in her 7-year-old boys’ windpipe and the Heimlich maneuver failed, and the young boy died. This led to Arthur Lih’s mission to bring this life-saving apparatus to market that currently has saved 642 lives.

LifeVac should be in every home, schools, disability organizations, police and fire departments, restaurants, nursing homes, and airplanes. We are on a mission to save a million lives around the world.
