i-gel® Supraglottic Airway
Regular price $45.95The i-gel® Supraglottic Airway from Intersurgical is a groundbreaking advancement in airway management, improving both anaesthesia and emergency care practices. As a second-generation device, it redefines standards in supraglottic airway design, offering unmatched performance and reliability.
Made from medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer, the i-gel® creates a non-inflatable, anatomical seal across the pharyngeal, laryngeal, and perilaryngeal structures. This ensures reduced trauma, improved sealing, and safer airway management in high-pressure scenarios.
Available in sizes suitable for patients from 10 kg to 90+ kg, the i-gel® is approved for use as a conduit for intubation with fibreoptic guidance. Each device is packaged in a unique, colour-coded cradle (adult) or cage pack (paediatric), helping maintain correct flexion and aiding in gas sterilisation and lubrication application.
Features:
- Medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer construction: Provides strength, flexibility, and a secure seal.
- Non-inflatable cuff: Anatomical fit reduces trauma and enhances patient comfort.
- Multiple size options: Covers 10–90+ kg, with 3 adult and 1 paediatric size available.
- Colour-coded packaging: Adult sizes in cradles, paediatric in cage packs – both recyclable.
- Fibreoptic-compatible: Can be used for intubation with fibreoptic guidance.
- Ergonomic design: Enables fast, accurate insertion even in emergencies.
- Latex-free packaging: Sterilisable and safe for clinical use.
- Versatile application: Ideal for anaesthesia and emergency medical care settings.
For a complete emergency care solution, pair the i-gel® with the OLAES® Haemostatic Bandage for rapid bleeding control and airway support.
FAQs:
Is the i-gel® suitable for civilian use?
Yes, the i-gel® is used globally in both clinical and prehospital emergency environments, including by civilian first responders.
How does the non-inflatable design improve performance?
The i-gel® naturally conforms to airway anatomy, providing an effective seal without inflating, which reduces trauma and speeds up insertion.
Is the i-gel® reusable?
No, the i-gel® is a single-use device. However, it may be used for training and demonstration purposes due to its durable build.
How is the i-gel® packaged?
Each airway is packaged in a colour-coded cradle (adults) or cage pack (paediatrics) to preserve optimal shape, allow for gas sterilisation, and serve as a lubricant tray.
