Barry Sendel re-introduced The Brook Life-Saving Airway Invention

 In 1988 Barry Sendel re-introduced the Brook Life-Saving Airway (BLA), an invention for the medical industry and  was a medical device designed to eliminate cross contamination when giving “CPR”. During that time, herpes and aids virus was becoming an epidemic and therefore, in a life threatening situation, anyone giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation could be contaminated by the direct contact. Barry re-introduced the BLA device which quickly became world renowned with police, fire-fighters, EMS, hospitals, life-guards and even swimming pool owners.

BLA was a special design with a check valve that allows the person who is giving CPR to insert the BLA into the victim’s mouth illuminating direct contact. The person giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is able to blow air to the victim’s lungs while doing compressions on the victim’s chest. If the victim/patient vomits the BLA’s unique design allows the secretion to flow through a check valve illuminating the rescuer from any cross-contamination. BLA was light-weight, small to carry and disposable as it retailed for a price less than $15.00

Barry Sendel Helps the Fitness Industy

During the year of 1990 Barry Sendel had the privilege of helping an engineer in designing a unique fitness boot apparatus designed for skipping and jumping jack exercises. The boot an (ice-skate) design is mounted on two half-moon molded plastic made up of flexible polypropylene material. These two plastic half-moons are connected with a lightweight polypropylene material act as a spring between the two half-moon molded plastics.

This unique exerciser called “Experlopers”, with Sendel’s help, became a running shoe with a heat-sealed rubber molded to the bottom of the half-moon plastic preventing runners from slipping and wear and tear from running on pavement.

Barry Sendel also perfected the boot to a light weight polyethylene material to reduce the weight of the Experlopers. The Experlopers became well known to runners after Sendel finished a 26 mile and 385 yards international marathon in Montreal, Canada without any aches or pain in his back or knees. Most people do not realize, says Sendel, that when we run on concrete and/or asphalt your body weight becomes 10 times its weight on your spine and knees. The Experlopers prevents this type of pounding. Today the Experlopers are sold under the name of Kangaroo Shoes for fun and fitness.

More of Barry Sendel at 67

Barry Sendel pioneered the concept of “build it yourself” buying your own building materials and build your own deck, bathroom, kitchen, etc. After the great success of the expo of 67 selling “on-demand” building supplies to many contractors of the pavilions “let’s take that same concept and sell building supplies to everyone, let’s sell to consumers”. He was the first in North America to start a “Home Depot” concept. At Woodhaven Building Supplies and Home Improvement Inc there were four salesmen selling and educating the consumer the do it yourself concept at the same time.

Come in and buy your own building supplies! The Lowes and Home Centres that you see now, they didn’t exist at the time. Barry pioneered this business concept where all the box storebusinesses are. For Example, Home Depot was founded in 1974, Barry had developed this concept way before.

Barry Sendel Helped Habitat 67 Avoid Bankruptcy

At Expo 67, one of the World’s largest universal expositions was held in Montreal. One leading project was completed on time thanks to Barry Sendel. Barry’s constant brilliant thinking for problem solving was able to complete the Habitat 67 project (picture) on time.

This Middle Eastern-like-structure was behind many months from completion due to the manufacturing of the precast concrete pillboxes which took up to 24 hours to cure leaving insufficient time to complete the job on schedule. Sendel by way of developing a steam tarpaulin out of neoprene a synthetic rubber produced by the polymerization of chloroprene. It is highly resistant to oil, heat and oxidation enhanced brought the curing time by 18 hours to 8 hours.

These pillboxes were being manufactured at a pre-stressed concrete factory known as Francon a Montreal North facility. These pillboxes were taking 24 hours per unit to be made. Sendel’s tarpaulin enhanced the curing time from 24 hours to 8 hours, thus making the project on time for the opening of EXPO 67. The pillboxes were poured at the factory and transported by many trucks to the site and stacked one pillbox on to another by crane.

Barry was brilliant in developing this streamlined process helping Anglin Norcross the contractor meeting the timelines from completing Habitat 67 on time.
