MIRA Safety CM-3M CBRN Child Gas Mask Infant Escape Respirator with PAPR - Israeli Defense Forces

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) CBRN experts have come up with a novel solution for a children's gas mask. This expandable hood may be quickly set up to give some of your youngest family members hours of protection and easy breathing by combining a battery-operated, small blower with a contemporary CBRN filter. The CM-3M Child Escape 

The respirator is made especially to meet the demands of young children and teenagers, in contrast to the majority of contemporary gas masks, which are made for military use.

KEY FEATURES

Nothing is as special, inventive, or useful as the MIRA Safety CM-3M Child Escape Respirator when it comes to child gas masks and personal protective equipment. Given their smaller stature, it should come as no surprise that children have significantly lower lung capacities than the average adult. This makes it impossible for them to suck in enough air through the intricate filters included in modern gas masks, not to mention how challenging it is to put a child securely into an adult-sized respirator).

Breathing difficulties will eventually pose problems, even if a child is big enough to wear a full-sized mask with some degree of comfort. They might tire out more quickly, become disoriented, or worse. 

Gas masks and personal protective equipment (PPE) for children and newborns have not seen much innovation up to this point, with the notable exception of the CM-2M gas mask system, which was effectively used during the Chernobyl accident and is still available here because of its outstanding value and performance.

However, your toddlers, kids, and early teenagers now have a state-of-the-art protective option with the CM-3M Child Escape Respirator. 

This device may be stretched to fit over the child's head, saving effort and frustration in dealing with poorly fitting face masks and straps for children. The blower will allow the mask to overpressurize, which will ensure that the child can breathe comfortably and act as a natural barrier to keep out harmful substances like mustard gas and aerosols. Using common 40 mm NATO filter cartridges and home CR123 batteries, the method is both straightforward and durable.

It should come as no surprise that Israel is the source of this kind of innovation given that its people are constantly on high alert in anticipation of the next radical attack. Every Israeli is essentially a frontline soldier, even though most other nations are permitted to customize their PPE and gas masks to fit their personnel. It follows that even in the face of the gravest dangers, they prioritize the security of their family.

The CM-3M Kids Escape Respirator shields you quite well against the dangers you're likely to encounter every day. It is simple to store and maybe swiftly deployed to assist you in getting your family to safety.

Please be aware that a full-face respirator or gas mask filter can only shield the sensitive tissues it covers. We advise a full-body suit (our HAZ-Suit is a flexible option) with butyl rubber boots, butyl rubber gloves, and Kappler Chemtape to fill any holes for enhanced protection.
