Disposable Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway Tube

Disposable Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway Tube

An oropharyngeal airway (also known as an oral airway, OPA or Guedel pattern airway) is a medical device called an airway adjunct used in airway management to maintain or open a patient's airway. It does this by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, which could prevent the person from breathing. When a person becomes unconscious, the muscles in their jaw relax and allow the tongue to obstruct the airway.

Features and benefits:

Anatomically Curved Design:Follows the natural contour of the oropharyngeal cavity, making insertion easier and more effective in maintaining airway patency.

Smooth, Rigid Construction:Made from high-quality, medical-grade polyethylene or polypropylene to ensure strength, durability, and patient safety during use.

Color-Coded Bite Block:Integrated hard bite block at the proximal end prevents patients from biting down and occluding the airway, and also protects teeth and equipment. Each size features a distinct color code for quick identification.

Single-Use and Disposable:Designed for one-time use to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and eliminate the need for cleaning or sterilization.

Latex-Free:Safe for use in latex-sensitive patients.

Available in Multiple Sizes:Wide range of sizes (typically from 000 to 6) for use in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients. Length markings on the airway help with accurate sizing and selection.
