a patient side for engagement with a chest of the patient; and
a user side for engagement with at least one hand of a user delivering CPR to the patient,
wherein one or more of a surface of the patient side and a surface of the user side is at least partially formed of a material with variable contact characteristics configured to be controlled during the delivery of the CPR to the patient so as to regulate a lateral force distribution profile at the one or more of the surface of the patient side and the surface of the user side from a force applied to the CPR device by the user and transferred through the CPR device to the patient during the delivery of the CPR to the patient.
