Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Guedel airway used for?

A Guedel airway maintains an open passage for breathing in unconscious patients by preventing the tongue from blocking the airway. It's commonly used during anesthesia, emergencies, or recovery when a patient cannot maintain their own airway.

Does the RU122890-Each come sterile?

How do you insert a Guedel airway?

Insert the Guedel airway upside down into the mouth, then rotate it 180 degrees as it passes the tongue. This guides the tip into the hypopharynx while protecting the tongue from obstruction.
