I-gel Supraglottic Airway - size 1.5

Size 1.5 5-12kg i-gel and natural airway management: The i-gel is a truly unique airway device and represents the culmination of years of extensive research and development. Everything about the i-gel has been designed to work in perfect unison with the anatomy; the i-gel design was inspired by the physiology of the perilaryngeal framework itself - airway management as nature might have intended. i-gel mirrors the anatomy: The shape, softness and contours accurately mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy to create the perfect fit. This innovative concept means that no cuff inflation is required. The i-gel works in harmony with the patient’s anatomy so that compression and displacement trauma are significantly reduced or eliminated. The non-inflatable cuff: i-gel gets its name from the soft gel-like material from which it is made. It is the innovative application of this material that has enabled the development of a unique non-inflatable cuff. This key feature means insertion of i-gel is easy, rapid and consistently reliable. The simple, safe and rapid solution: i-gel is incredibly easy to use. A proficient user can achieve insertion of the i-gel in less than 5 seconds. With no inflatable cuff, i-gel provides a safe and rapid airway management solution. Current indications for use of i-gel: Securing and maintaining a patent airway in routine and emergency anaesthetics for operations of fasted patients during spontaneous or Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (IPPV).
