I-GEL SUPRAGLOTIC AIRWAY - SIZE  2.5 - large paediatric, 25-35kg

The i-gel Supraglottic Airway represents a radical shift in airway management, created thanks to a deep understanding of human anatomy. This innovative device is the result of a design approach that takes its cues from the body's own perilaryngeal structures. Its contours, softness, and non-inflatable nature are precisely engineered to deliver an impeccable fit without the need for cuff inflation, ensuring it harmonises with the patient's anatomy.

A significant advancement beyond the traditional laryngeal mask airway, the i-gel has redefined the standards of anaesthesia and emergency care on a global scale. Constructed from a superior medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer, the i-gel offers a secure, non-inflatable seal around patient airway structures while mitigating the risks of compression trauma.

As a hallmark of innovation, the i-gel stands out as a latex-free and PVC-free solution, thanks to years of dedicated research and development. It is available in seven sizes, each delivered in a recyclable protective cradle or cage pack that safeguards its shape and integrity.

Who is this for?

Paramedics, trained first responders, doctors and physicians in order to keep patients airways open in emergancys and during operations.

FAQs

What is an i-gel Supraglottic Airway used for?

The i-gel O2 is a vital medical device designed for establishing an airway and facilitating ventilation during resuscitation protocols as recommended by both the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the American Heart Association (AHA). Its advanced design includes a supplementary oxygen port which allows for passive oxygenation, or Passive Airway Management (PAM), aligning with the best practices of CardioCerebral Resuscitation (CCR) protocols. This versatile tool is essential for emergency medical professionals, providing a quick and reliable method to manage a patient's airway and ensure adequate ventilation in critical situations.

Where are Supraglottic Airways used?

Supraglottic airways (SGAs) like the i-gel O2 are indispensable in various medical settings where secure airway management is crucial. They are designed for:

• Emergency Response: SGAs are vital for paramedics and emergency medical responders for immediate airway access on-site or during transport.
• Hospitals: Within hospital settings, including operating rooms and emergency departments, SGAs provide a reliable alternative to endotracheal intubation for ventilation and oxygenation.

The i-gel O2’s ease of insertion and stability make it ideal for rapid deployment in critical situations where time and patient stability are of the essence.
