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 original
Features 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
Unique to Canine v-gel® * Integral Gastric Channel –allowing insertion of esophageal or gastric tube. This gives the anesthetist the knowledge of a reflux event offering suctioning, flushing and medication for greater protection and management of reflux/regurgitation and so avoiding aspiration.
