When it comes to child gas masks and personal protective equipment, nothing is as unique, innovative or practical as the MIRA Safety CM-3M Child Escape Respirator. It should come as no surprise that children have substantially less lung capacity than the average adult due to their smaller size. Because of this, they can struggle to draw enough air through the complex filters used in today’s gas masks (not to mention the difficulty getting a snug fit on a child with standard, adult-sized respirators).
Even if a child is large enough to use a full-sized mask with relative comfort, difficulty breathing will cause issues over time. They may fatigue more easily, become distracted, or worse.
To date, there’s been little in the way of innovation when it comes to gas masks and PPE for children and infants.
But now, with the CM-3M Child Escape Respirator, we provide a cutting-edge protective solution for your toddlers, children and young teens.
Instead of wrestling with ill-fitting kids' face masks and straps, this unit can simply be expanded and placed over the child’s head. Once the blower is activated, the mask will over-pressurize — simultaneously ensuring the child can breathe easily and providing a natural protective barrier to keep out aerosols and dangerous threats like mustard gas. The solution is as simple as it is robust: powered by household CR123 batteries and using standard 40 mm NATO filter cartridges.
It's no surprise that this kind of innovation comes out of Israel, where the country’s citizens live in a perpetual state of high alert awaiting the next attack from extremists. Whereas most countries are free to tailor their gas masks/PPE to suit frontline soldiers, every Israeli is effectively a frontline soldier. So, it makes sense they keep their family’s safety at heart even when it comes to the most extreme threats.
The CM-3M Kids Escape Respirator provides a great deal of protection from the threats you’re most likely to see on a daily basis. It’s easy to store and can be deployed at a moment’s notice to help you quickly and easily get your family to safety.
Please note that a gas mask filter/full-face respirator can only protect the soft tissues that it covers. For increased protection, we recommend a full-body covering (our HAZ-Suit is a flexible solution) including butyl rubber boots, butyl rubber gloves, and Kappler Chemtape to seal the gaps.
