i-gel and natural airway management: The i-gel is a truly unique single use, latex and PVC free airway device, representing the culmination of years of extensive research and development. Everything about the i-gel has been designed to work in perfect unison with the anatomy the i-gel design was inspired by the physiology of the perilaryngeal framework itself – airway management as nature might have intended. The i-gel has a host of features that provide significant benefits to the patient and the clinician 15mm connector: Reliable connection to any standard catheter mount or connection Proximal end of gastric channel Integral bite block: Reduces the possibility of airway channel occlusion Clearly displayed product information: For quick easy reference, includes confirmation of size and weight guidance Gastric channel: The i-gel incorporates a gastric channel (except size 1), it provides an early warning of regurgitation, allows for the passing of a nasogastric tube to empty stomach contents and facilitates venting Buccal cavity stabiliser: Aids insertion and eliminates the potential for rotation Epiglottic rest: Reduces the possibility of epiglottic ‘down folding’ and airway obstruction Non-inflatable cuff: Made from a unique soft gel-like material allowing ease of insertion and reduced trauma 8203000 5030267073689 ukmedi
