The Portex® Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway is a reliable and widely used airway adjunct designed to maintain an open airway in unconscious or anesthetized patients. By preventing the tongue from obstructing the oropharynx, it ensures proper airflow during manual ventilation, anesthesia, or emergency resuscitation.
Constructed from medical-grade polyethylene, the airway features a rigid curved design that follows the natural anatomy of the oropharynx for secure placement. Each airway includes an integrated bite block to protect both the patient and ventilation equipment and is color-coded by size to simplify selection in fast-paced clinical settings.
Key Features:
-
Anatomically Curved Design: Keeps the airway clear by holding the tongue away from the posterior pharynx
-
Built-in Bite Block: Reduces the risk of occlusion and protects equipment during use
-
Color-Coded by Size: For quick identification and easy stocking
-
Smooth Finish: Allows for atraumatic insertion
-
Sterile & Latex-Free: Single-use design for maximum hygiene and patient safety
Applications:
-
Emergency airway management
-
Anesthesia and perioperative care
-
CPR and basic airway support
-
Pre-hospital EMS and trauma settings
The Portex® Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway is an essential tool for any airway management protocol, trusted by clinicians worldwide for its simplicity, effectiveness, and safety in both routine and critical care situations.
