Description

The Nasopharyngeal Airway, Flange-Style, 28 Fr, is a medical airway device designed to help maintain an open passage through the nasal cavity into the pharynx. It features a clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) construction, allowing visual inspection of the device. The airway has a French size of 28 Fr, an internal diameter of 7 mm, and a length of 150 mm. Its flange-style design helps identify the external end of the device and limits unintended advancement during placement.

The airway incorporates internal ridges designed to facilitate the insertion of a suction catheter. These ridges support catheter passage through the airway during secretion management. The internal diameter is marked on the flange, allowing convenient identification of the airway size during clinical preparation and use. The clear construction also assists with visual assessment of the device during handling.

The device features a soft, flexible structure and a rounded tip designed to support comfortable insertion. Its flexibility allows it to conform to the nasal passage during placement, while the rounded tip helps reduce insertion-related tissue irritation when used appropriately. The flange provides an external reference point for positioning and handling during airway management.
