Mechanical chest compression

Mechanical CPR frees providers from manual CPR, reduces the risk of provider injury and may increase the return of spontaneous circulation.

Sharpening your focus

The LUCAS chest compression system frees providers from labor-intensive manual CPR while providing consistent, high quality CPR. This allows providers to focus on other aspects of resuscitation care.
