I-Gel Supraglottic Airway #3

The i-gel® is the innovative second generation supraglottic airway device from Intersurgical. The first major development since the laryngeal mask airway, i-gel has changed the face of airway management and is now widely used in anaesthesia and resuscitation across the globe.

Made from a medical grade thermoplastic elastomer, i-gel has been designed to create a non-inflatable, anatomical seal of the pharyngeal, laryngeal and perilaryngeal structures whilst avoiding compression trauma.

Features:

• i-gel has a soft, gel-like, non-inflatable cuff, designed to provide an anatomical impression fit over the laryngeal inlet.
• The shape, softness and contours accurately mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy - an innovative concept meaning no cuff inflation is required.
• Working in harmony with the patient's anatomy, compression and displacement trauma are significantly reduced or eliminated.

Benefits:

• Ease and speed of insertion
• Reduced trauma
• Superior seal pressure
• Gastric access
• Integral bite block
• Non-inflatable cuff
