The Rusch Nasal PVC Airway 12 Fr (1233‑12) is a high-quality nasopharyngeal airway designed for pediatric and small adult patients who require airway support but cannot tolerate an oropharyngeal device. Constructed from flexible, medical‑grade, latex‑free PVC, this sterile, single‑use airway offers a safe and comfortable solution for maintaining nasal patency.
Key features and benefits:
-
Soft PVC Construction: Minimizes trauma to nasal tissues while providing sufficient rigidity for proper airway positioning
-
Beveled Tip: Allows smooth, gentle insertion, reducing discomfort and resistance
-
Inner Striations: Facilitates the passage of suction catheters without kinking or obstruction
-
Fixed Flange Design: Ensures stable placement and prevents migration during use
-
Sterile and Individually Packaged: Each airway is individually wrapped for hygienic, single‑patient use, minimizing cross‑contamination risk

This airway is widely used by EMS providers, anesthesiologists, emergency departments, and critical care teams seeking a reliable, easy-to-use option for maintaining nasal patency during sedation, airway management, or suctioning procedures.
