A defibrillator could help you save the life of someone suffering from cardiac arrest when nothing else can.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a device that gives a high-energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in sudden cardiac arrest. When defibrillation is required, you'll be glad you have one of our range of premium brand semi and fully automatic defibrillators on hand.
Purchase an AED starter kit and store it with your defibrillator, complete with supplies for providing treatment and protecting both the responder and the casualty. This kit is the ideal companion pack for defibrillator use - sterile, disposable, and cost-effective.
The AED starter kit contains the following items:
We stock a range of indoor and outdoor AED cabinets for optimal storage. Providing public access to a defibrillator can be life-saving. AED cabinets give the community 24/7 public access to defibrillators for use during a cardiac emergency.

Automated external defibrillators are either automatic or semi-automatic. The difference between them is very small.
Semi-automatic AEDs will sense and analyse the casualty’s cardiac rhythm through the electrode pads and alert the user to deliver a shock by pressing a button on the device when it’s ready. Automatic AEDs, on the other hand, will analyse the cardiac rhythm and deliver the required shock on its own, requiring no intervention or button-pressing from the user.
Both defibrillator types are designed to be safe and easy to use, with no difference in their effectiveness.
