FoldPumpVac™: A Collapsible Choking Rescue Device Built for Real Life—Travel, Parenting, and Everyday Carry

If you are a parent or caregiver, you already know the pattern: snacks in the car, meals on the go, a busy schedule, and the constant goal of being prepared—without carrying a bulky “just-in-case” kit everywhere. That is exactly why FITIGER built the FoldPumpVac™ series: a portable choking rescue device with a manually collapsible design created to fit real routines.

Why “collapsible” matters

Most emergency tools are easy to own—but harder to carry. FoldPumpVac™ is designed to collapse for compact storage so it can live in a diaper bag, travel backpack, glove box, or kitchen drawer without taking over your space. For parents traveling with kids, that difference is not cosmetic—it is the difference between “I have it with me” and “I left it at home.”


Fewer steps when a choking response is needed

In an emergency, simplicity is a feature. Many manual suction-style devices commonly require three actions: (1) attach the mask, (2) push down, and (3) pull up. FoldPumpVac™ is designed to simplify that workflow: attach the mask and pull up directly—reducing complexity when stress is high and time is limited.

Designed to help avoid unnecessary face pressure during repeated handling

Emergencies can be chaotic, and repeated handling can happen. FoldPumpVac™ uses a structural approach intended to absorb downward force in the device rather than sending that force into the patient’s face, helping reduce the chance of secondary discomfort when the situation is already difficult.

Materials chosen for everyday safety

FoldPumpVac™ is built with a food-grade silicone main body. Additional components are made from BPA-free, food-grade PP. Material choices matter for products that may be stored in kitchens, packed with children’s items, or kept in vehicles for long periods.

Patent protection across key markets

FITIGER reports a patent portfolio for the FoldPumpVac™ design, with protection pursued and/or obtained across major markets including the United States, China, Canada, the United Kingdom, and parts of Europe. This IP strategy is intended to defend the unique collapsible structure and the streamlined operating concept. (Patent status can vary by jurisdiction.)


A note on preparedness and responsible use

No device replaces training and good judgment. If you suspect a choking emergency, contact local emergency services and follow established choking response guidance for the situation. We recommend reading the instructions for use and becoming familiar with the device before you ever need it.


Bottom line

FoldPumpVac™ was created for people who want to be ready without carrying something oversized or complicated. A manually collapsible design for portability, a simplified pull-up action for speed, and materials selected for everyday safety—these are the details that make preparedness more realistic for modern life.
