Martek Medical are the official UK distributor for the Lifeline Automated External Defibrillator (AED) from Defibtech – the easiest to use defibrillator on the market*.
140,000 people die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) each year in the UK; it is the World’s biggest killer and for many victims there are no signs of a problem until it is too late. It can strike anyone, anytime, anywhere, without warning. If you haven't already come into contact with someone affected by SCA, the chances are that you will at some stage in the future. Use our SCA calculator to see whether there is a high probability of a sudden cardiac arrest happening on your premises.
Even though SCA is the World's biggest killer, you don't have to be helpless against it. There is something that you can do to save the life of a friend, colleague, loved one or even a complete stranger.
The only proven way to treat SCA is by delivering an electric shock to the heart with a defibrillator to restore a normal heart rhythm. This is called defibrillation and can make the difference between saving a life and watching someone die in front of you. If you can deliver defibrillation within the vital first 3 minutes, chances of survival are increased by up to a staggering 70%.
The thought of having to use a defibrillator is a pretty daunting one. You can rest assured that the LIFELINE® Automated External Defibrillator is proven to be the World’s simplest to use AED*, designed so that ANYONE can save a life, even non-medical personnel. Voice prompts guide you through each step and with only two buttons to press, the unit is unintimidating and easy to use. With built in safety features that mean it is impossible for you to delivery a shock if it is not needed, the Lifeline AED is ideal for use in your business, home, community, school, doctor's surgery, dental surgery, gym, leisure centre or anywhere people may gather.
