i-gel Supraglottic Airway, Medium Adult, Size 4

$30.95

Description

Non-Inflatable Cuff: The i-gel features a unique, soft, gel-like cuff made from a medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer. It is designed to create an anatomical seal without the need for inflation, which reduces the potential for compression trauma.
Built-in Gastric Channel: A gastric channel is integrated into the device (except for size 1), providing an extra layer of safety. This channel can be used to pass a nasogastric tube to empty stomach contents or to provide an early warning of regurgitation.
Integral Bite Block: The device has an integral bite block to reduce the possibility of the patient occluding the airway channel.
Anatomical Design: The shape and softness of the i-gel are specifically designed to mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit.
Latex and PVC-Free: The device is single-use, sterile, and free of both latex and PVC, making it safe for patients with sensitivities to these materials.
Color-Coded: The product is color-coded for quick and easy size identification. The size 4, medium adult i-gel is typically green.
