Smiths Medical 100/322/110 - 11.0CM GUEDEL AIRWAY 10/CA
The Smiths Medical 100/322/110 Guedel Airway is a high-quality oropharyngeal airway designed to maintain a clear airway in unconscious or semi-conscious patients. With an 11.0 cm length, it is suitable for larger pediatric and adult patients, helping prevent airway obstruction by keeping the tongue from blocking the pharynx.

Key Benefits

Suitable for use during anesthesia, resuscitation, and airway management procedures, it is an essential tool for maintaining airway patency in non-responsive patients.
Usage Guidelines
