Product Overview
The Cardinal Health NA24FR Nasopharyngeal Airway is a sterile, single-use medical device designed to secure a patent airway via nasal insertion. With a size of 24 French (Fr) and an inner diameter of 6.0 mm, this airway is ideal for both emergency and routine procedures requiring airway management without oral access.
