A Guedel Airway is a fundamental medical device used to maintain an open airway in patients.
This curved, tube-like instrument is inserted into the mouth, preventing the tongue from obstructing the airway and ensuring a clear path for effective ventilation.
KEY FEATURES:
Curved Design: The distinctive J-shaped design follows the natural anatomy of the oral and pharyngeal structures, helping to keep the tongue away from the back of the throat.
Variety of Sizes: Comes in various sizes to accommodate patients of different ages and anatomies, from infants to adults.
Color-Coding: Some models are color-coded based on size, simplifying selection in time-critical situations.
Sterile Packaging: Individually packaged and sterilized, making them suitable for use in medical and emergency settings.
Facilitates Ventilation: This device ensures a clear and open airway, allowing for effective artificial ventilation with a bag-valve-mask or other ventilation equipment.
