Description

The AIRWAY GUEDEL BLUE 50MM PLASTIC KINK RESISTANT SMOOTH EDGE is a non-sterile, latex-free oropharyngeal airway designed to maintain airway patency in unconscious or semi-conscious patients. Constructed from rigid, kink-resistant plastic, it ensures a consistent passage for airflow and prevents the tongue from obstructing the oropharynx. The device features smooth, rounded edges to minimize soft tissue trauma during insertion, enhancing patient safety in clinical and emergency settings.

Color-coded blue for 50mm, the airway allows rapid and accurate size identification. Its design supports compatibility with standard resuscitation equipment, including bag-valve-mask (BVM) systems. The single-use, disposable nature promotes strict infection control while the latex-free construction reduces the risk of hypersensitivity reactions in susceptible patients.

The airway is suitable for use in a wide range of medical scenarios, including emergency response, operating rooms, intensive care units, recovery rooms, and pre-hospital care environments. Proper sizing is determined by measuring from the patient’s earlobe to the corner of the mouth. Insertion involves gentle placement upside down, with a 180-degree rotation to follow the tongue’s curvature, ensuring the flange rests securely against the lips or teeth.
