Cardinal Health 122780A - Guedel Oral Airway 80 mm, Green, Latex-Free, Kink-Resistant, Disposable Airway Management Device, 10/BX
Product Overview
The Cardinal Health 122780A Guedel Oral Airway is a disposable, single-use oropharyngeal airway designed to maintain a secure and open airway in unconscious or sedated patients. Sized at 80 mm and color-coded green, this airway is easy to identify and select during emergency situations. Its anatomically curved, kink-resistant design supports reliable ventilation while minimizing the risk of soft tissue obstruction.
Made from latex-free materials with smooth rounded edges, the device ensures gentle insertion and minimizes trauma. Its central open lumen allows access for suctioning secretions, enhancing airway clearance during procedures.
