Product Description Product DescriptionThe oropharyngeal airway (OPA), commonly referred to as the Guedel airway, is a rigid, curved medical device designed to maintain upper airway patency in unconscious or severely obtunded patients. Named after its inventor, Arthur Guedel, it is a staple in emergency and perioperative airway management.Structurally, the OPA consists of three key components: a flange at the oral end to prevent overinsertion, a bite block to protect the device from being chewed, and a curved pharyngeal portion that conforms to the oropharyngeal anatomy. Its primary function is to counteract tongue prolapse-a leading cause of airway obstruction in unresponsive individuals-by displacing the tongue and soft tissues forward, thus keeping the airway open.Indications for OPA use include patients with depressed consciousness (typically a Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤8) who lack a gag reflex, as it facilitates suctioning, bag-mask ventilation, or serves as a bridge to advanced airway devices. Proper sizing is critical: the correct length is determined by measuring from the patient's central incisors to the angle of the mandible or earlobe. Insertion techniques include the "straight" method (direct placement) or "reverse" method (inserted upside down, then rotated 180° to minimize soft tissue trauma).Contraindications include conscious patients or those with an intact gag reflex, as this may trigger vomiting, laryngospasm, or aspiration. Complications, though rare with proper use, can include dental damage or mucosal irritation. Overall, the Guedel airway remains an essential, cost-effective tool in emergency care, valued for its simplicity and reliability when used by trained personnel.Detailed PhotosProduct ParametersCertificationsOur FactoryOur CompanyShippment
