The Rusch Nasal PVC Airway 18Fr (1233-18) is a soft, flexible nasopharyngeal airway designed for effective airway management in both emergency and clinical care environments. Made from medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this latex-free airway ensures a comfortable and atraumatic fit for adult patients.
Sized at 18 French, this airway is suitable for larger adult patients, providing a clear and stable nasal passage for ventilation when oral airways are not appropriate. The beveled tip allows for smooth insertion with minimal resistance, while the flared end prevents the airway from slipping too far into the nasal cavity.
Ideal for use by EMS professionals, anesthesiologists, and critical care teams, the Rusch 18Fr airway is compatible with standard water-based lubricants to further ease insertion. It is especially useful for semi-conscious or unconscious patients who are at risk of airway obstruction but cannot tolerate an oropharyngeal device.
Each unit is individually packaged for single use, ensuring sterility and helping prevent cross-contamination in fast-paced medical settings.
