i-gel Supraglottic Airway by TACMED
The i-gel® Supraglottic Airway from Intersurgical is a revolutionary advancement in airway management, designed to improve both anaesthesia and resuscitation practices. As a second-generation device, the i-gel® represents the first major evolution since the introduction of the laryngeal mask airway, and it continues to set the standard in airway devices worldwide.
Crafted from medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer, the i-gel® creates a non-inflatable, anatomical seal that spans the pharyngeal, laryngeal, and perilaryngeal structures. This design minimises compression trauma, maximises patient safety, and provides a secure airway in both anaesthesia and emergency situations.
Introduced in 2007 after extensive research and development, the i-gel® is available in four sizes, accommodating patients weighing from 10 to 90+ kg. In 2012, its versatility was expanded with approval for use as a conduit for intubation with fibreoptic guidance. The i-gel® is packaged in a unique, colour-coded protective cradle (for adult sizes) or a cage pack (for paediatric sizes), ensuring that the device maintains optimal flexion prior to use. This packaging also aids in gas circulation during sterilisation and serves as a convenient base for lubrication.
Medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer construction: Ensures strength, flexibility, and a secure seal.
Non-inflatable cuff: Provides anatomical sealing with reduced trauma, enhancing patient comfort.
Available in multiple sizes: Includes 3 adult and 1 paediatric sizes (10-90+ kg) for diverse patient needs.
Colour-coded protective packaging: Adult sizes come with a cradle, and paediatric sizes come with a cage pack, both made from recyclable polypropylene (PP).
Supports intubation: Can be used as a conduit for intubation with fibreoptic guidance.
Ergonomic design: Facilitates rapid and reliable insertion, even in emergency situations.
Latex-free and sterilizable packaging: Designed for safety and reusability in clinical settings.
Wide applicability: Perfect for use in both anaesthesia and emergency care, offering reliable performance in a variety of medical situations.
Enhance your airway management capabilities by pairing the i-gel® Supraglottic Airway with the OLAES® Haemostatic Bandage to create a comprehensive and effective emergency response kit.
FAQs:
Q: Is the i-gel® suitable for civilian use?
A: Yes, it is designed for both professional medical settings and civilian emergency applications, making it versatile for various use cases.
Q: How does the non-inflatable design improve performance?
A: The non-inflatable cuff conforms naturally to the airway anatomy, reducing trauma and ensuring a secure seal while enhancing patient comfort and safety.
Q: Is the i-gel® reusable?
A: The i-gel® is intended for single-use in clinical emergencies. However, its durable construction allows it to be used for training and demonstration purposes.
Q: How is the i-gel® packaged?
A: The device comes in a colour-coded protective cradle (for adult sizes) or a cage pack (for paediatric sizes). These packs maintain optimal device flexion, enhance gas circulation for sterilisation, and provide a convenient base for lubrication
