Why is my smoke mask in a vacuum-sealed package?

Xcaper masks owe their effectiveness to the specially formulated moist extract we use as filter. When exposed to the air, this medium begins to dry out, eventually rendering the mask useless. Only open the package when you are ready to use the smoke mask in a fire or smoke situation.

Dry samples of this mask are available for practice drills

Life Saving Safety Gear

Fire safety in the home is an important issue for anyone who is aware of the serious consequences of smoke inhalation. Now an incredible piece of fire safety gear, the Xcaper Personal Smoke Mask, is available for the first time to consumers across the country as a potentially life saving tool. Xcaper is unique among fire prevention products. When you wear it in a smoke-filled building or environment, it allows you to breathe comfortably and safely- and see clearly- for up to 30 minutes depending upon the conditions, giving you valuable time to escape or be rescued by firefighters. Smoke inhalation is responsible for 75% of all fire related fatalities, but with the Xcaper personal smoke mask you can breathe, see, and think clearly, giving you more time to be rescued.
