INTERSURGICAL I-GEL AIRWAY #4 (8204000)
INTERSURGICAL I-GEL AIRWAY #4 (8204000)
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 peri laryngeal framework itself – airway management as nature might have intended.
i-gel mirrors the anatomy
- The shape, softness and contours accurately mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy to create the perfect fit.
- This innovative concept means that no cuff inflation is required. The i-gel works in harmony with the patient’s anatomy so that compression and displacement trauma are significantly reduced or eliminated.
The non-inflatable cuff
- i-gel gets its name from the soft gel-like material from which it is made. It is the innovative application of this material that has enabled the development of a unique non-inflatable cuff.
- This key feature means insertion of i-gel is easy, rapid and consistently reliable.
The simple, safe and rapid solution
- i-gel is incredibly easy to use. A proficient user can achieve insertion of the i-gel® in less than 5 seconds. With no inflatable cuff, i-gel provides a safe and rapid airway management solution.
Adults
- Adult i-gel is indicated for securing and maintaining a patient airway in routine and emergency anaesthetics of fasted patients, during spontaneous or intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV), during resuscitation of the unconscious
patient, and as a conduit for intubation under fibreoptic guidance in a known or unexpectedly difficult intubation, by personnel who are suitably trained and experienced in the use of airway management techniques and devices.
Accurate and natural positioning
- The i-gel accurately and naturally positions itself over the laryngeal framework, providing a reliable peri-laryngeal seal without the need for an inflatable cuff.
Paediatrics
- i-gel is now available in four paediatric as well as three adult sizes, making it applicable for use with patients between 2–90+kg.
- Paediatric i-gel® is indicated for securing and maintaining a patient airway in routine and emergency
anaesthetics for operations of fasted patients during spontaneous or intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV).
Innovative packaging
- The i-gel supraglottic airway is supplied in a fully recyclable protective cradle or cage pack.
- This unique packaging protects the i-gel in transit and ensures that it maintains its anatomical shape.
