 The Nasopharyngeal Airway, also know as an NPA, is a disposable airway adjunct used to maintain a patient's airway.

The Nasopharyngeal Airway from Rusch is made from a soft PVC construction with beveled tip for a comfortable & gentle insertion which minimises the chances of complications. The NPA has inner striations for smooth suction catheter insertion.

The Rusch Nasopharyngeal Airway is available in a full range of sizes (inc Paediatric). Contact us for availability of other sizes.

The Guedel Airway Kit is a complete OPA kit consisting of 8 Guedel airways (one of each size) - supplied in a plastic carrying case. Ideal for medical kits and paramedic cases.

AEROSHIELD, AEROMASK and AEROBREATHE provide a selection of protective and airway management products for pre-hospital treatment on injured patients, and to assist in the safe application of essential CPR.

AeroShield is designed to reduce the risk of cross-contamination during CPR.

The Aerorescue face shield provides a physical airway management barrier for pre-hospital treatment in the safe application of essential CPR.

Airway Guedels are a critical item for any advanced trauma response to keep airways clear of obstruction when providing advanced first response treatment.

Airway Guedels are available in a range of sizes which must be appropriately matched to the patient to ensure a correct fit.

Colours help with ease of recognition of a suitable size. Each airway is individually packaged for best hygiene practice.

The Halo Chest Seal is the essential choice for managing penetrating chest trauma when time is of critical importance. Ideal for the treatment of open pneumothorax, this seal also prevents the development of tension pneumothorax resulting from gunshots, stab wounds, or other chest injuries and is specifically designed for casualties with excessive bleeding,heavy perspiration, or very wet and extreme environments.

The unique design offers a large pull tab that allows for easy, quick application.A highly-aggressive hydrogel enables the Halo Chest Seal to conform and adhere to all contours of the body and also prevents further contamination of the injury.

The Russell Chest Seal® is designed for the immediate management of an open chest wound and to minimise the risk of developing tension pneumothorax.

The Russell Chest Seal® is a hydrogel-based dressing with an integral low-profile, four apertures, valve. The base material of the chest seal is a hydrogel matrix, which comprises a water-containing gel, mounted onto a non-woven fabric with silicon-coated release liners.

The Russell Chest Seal® is used to cover penetrating chest wounds, and the valve mechanism allows air to escape from the pleural cavity without being drawn back in. This aims to minimise lunge collapse associated with this injury and to facilitate lung re-inflation.

The device will remain adhered over many hours and is comfortable for the patient in prolonged use (up to 24 hours).

• Fast, easy and intuitive to apply
• Patented hydrogel base – ‘Sticks and Stays Stuck!’
• 4 large peripheral apertures allow drainage of air and blood
• Large central hole in base material allows quick accurate placement with reduced risk of obstructing the wound opening
• Low profile and highly flexible
• Compact: easy to pack into medical kit

Designed by practising clinicians who understand the limitations of conventional equipment, the Russell PneumoFix® has many features that make it a truly useful tool for emergency care providers.

• Designed for efficient insertion to be inserted without the use of a scalpel or skin incision.
• Veress-tipped needle to reduce the risk of injury to lung tissue.
• 11cm long catheter long enough to reach the pleural cavity of the vast majority of patients.
• Low-pressure one-way valve to allow air and fluid out but nothing in.
• Graduated markings and X-ray detectable catheter for depth recording and accurate localisation at the hospital.
• 12-Gauge catheter allows for rapid venting of air in tension pneumothorax.
