Description
Widely used in human medicine, a supraglottic airway device (SGAD) is an alternative to an endotracheal tube, used to deliver anesthetic gases and/or oxygen to anaesthetized patients. Designed to sit in the pharynx, they avoid many of the problems caused by ET tubes such as laryngeal and tracheal trauma, airway resistance and contact laryngospasms. They are also quick and easy to place and are useful for emergency resuscitation. v-gel® devices are the first veterinary species-specific SGADs, currently used all over the world for cats, dogs and rabbits
New to v-gel® advanced:
- Improved design-easier to place, higher seal pressures, more space for dental procedures, low dead space connector
- Single use –avoids cross-contamination
Plus originalFeatures of v-gel® supraglottic airway devices
- Anatomical matching features combined with a soft material to give a high quality pressure seal
- Suited to ventilated as well as spontaneously breathing patients
- Avoids laryngeal and tracheal trauma, which means safer anesthetics and comfortable patient recoveries
- Fast, easy, safe and stress-free insertions
- Low airway resistance due to the large airway channel within the device
* Excellent fluid seal and slim mouth section offering accessibility and safety for dental procedures
- Smooth recoveries without post-operative coughing or gagging
- High quality pressure seal restricting leakage of volatile anesthetic agents, thus improving health and safety for staff
- The tip inserts into upper esophagus to help prevent regurgitation of stomach contents
- Suitable for a variety of head shapes
