i-gel - airway management has evolved
i-gel, from Intersurgical, is a truly unique, single use, supraglottic airway management device that represents the culmination of years of extensive research and development.
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.
i-gel is currently available in seven sizes and is supplied in an innovative, colour-coded polypropylene protective cradle.
In short, everything about the i-gel supraglottic airway device has been designed to work in perfect unison with the anatomy.
Benefits of i-gel
- Made from a unique, soft, gel-like material to allow ease of insertion and reduced trauma.
- Gastric channel designed to improve and enhance patient safety.
- Integral bite-block reduces the possibility of airway channel occlusion.
- Virtually eliminates rotation.
- Reduces the possibility of epiglottis downfolding and obstructing the airway.
- Unique packaging protects the i-gel in transit and ensures that it maintains its anatomical shape.
