i-gel Single Use Supraglottic Airway - Paediatric - Size 1.5

The i-gel is a truly unique airway device and represents 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 shape, softness and contours accurately mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy to create the perfect fit. This innovative concept means that no cuff inflation 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 material that has enabled the development of a unique non-inflatable cuff. This key feature means insertion i-gel is easy, rapid and consistently reliable. Using i-gel; 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. no inflatable cuff, i-gel provides a safe and rapid airway management solution.

Applications

i-gel is designed for use in securing and maintaining patent airway in routine and emergency anaesthetics operations of fasted patients during spontaneous intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV).

Innovative packaging

The i-gel supraglottic airway is supplied in an innovative colour-coded polypropylene 'cage pack'. This unique packaging protects the i-gel in transit and ensures that it maintains its unique anatomical shape.
