Mother Invents Life-Saving, Innovative CPR Tool

Mother Invents Life-Saving, Innovative CPR Tool 
Felicia Jackson reflected on a serious medical emergency that inspired her to start CPRWrap, Inc.

“In 2002, while driving with my family in Chattanooga, Tennessee, my 2-year-old son Markel faced a life-threatening choking incident. He was turning blue and slipping into unconsciousness. Despite my annual CPR training from working in a hospital, fear paralyzed me, leaving me unable to assist my child,” Jackson, founder and CEO of CPRWrap, Inc. recalled. “I conceived the concept for CPRWrap in 2002 following the harrowing incident.”

After Jackson’s husband saved their son from the choking event, Markel was taken to the hospital and discharged the same day. Today, he is a thriving young man with a child of his own. Although the outcome was positive for Markel, the unsettling incident remained etched in Jackson’s mind. She was able to extract a bigger purpose from the experience. Jackson transformed into an inventor. CPRWrap is a first of its kind, user-friendly tool. Jackson conceived it to simplify and empower any non-medical bystander, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). CPRWrap is meant to provide individuals with a clear guide for proper hand placement and compression technique, ultimately empowering anyone to be lifesavers, according to Jackson.

She added, “CPRWrap is used by placing the template over the victim’s chest, which then provides users with a visual guide for proper alignment.”

COVID-19 left many people feeling squeamish when it comes to evaluating the risk of spreading germs. Rescuers and health providers were already concerned about transmission of infections while administering CPR, according to an article published by National Library of Medicine.
