About i-gel from Intersurgical
Zero Inflation
Zero Inflation is here
How it Works
The igel supraglottic airway device accurately and naturally positions itself over the laryngeal framework to provide a reliable perilaryngeal seal without the need for an inflatable cuff.
Main Features & Benefits
- No inflatable cuff offers easy, rapid insertion
- An integral bite block reduces the possibility of airway occlusion
- A buccal cavity stabilizer aids rapid insertion and eliminates potential rotation
i-gel - airway management has evolved
i-gel, from Intersurgical, is a truly unique, single use, supraglottic airway management device that represents the culmination of years of extensive research and development.
Made from a medical grade thermoplastic elastomer, i-gel has been designed to create a non-inflatable, anatomical seal of the pharyngeal, laryngeal and perilaryngeal structures whilst avoiding compression trauma.
i-gel is currently available in three sizes and is supplied in an innovative, colour-coded polypropylene ‘protective cradle’.
In short, everything about the i-gel supraglottic airway device has been designed to work in perfect unison with the anatomy.
Benefits of i-gel
- Made from a unique, soft, gel-like material to allow ease of insertion and reduced trauma.
- Gastric channel designed to improve and enhance patient safety.
- Integral bite-block reduces the possibility of airway channel occlusion.
- Virtually eliminates rotation.
- Reduces the possibility of epiglottis downfolding and obstructing the airway.
- Unique packaging protects the i-gel in transit and ensures that it maintains its anatomical shape.
