Description

Polymed Guedel airway

Polymed Guedel airway is a medical device used to maintain an open airway in an unconscious or sedated patient. It is a curved plastic tube with a flange at one end and a slightly flared tip at the other. The flange serves as a stopper to prevent the airway from being inserted too deeply, while the flared tip helps to keep the tongue from obstructing the airway.

The Guedel airway is named after its inventor, Dr. Arthur Guedel, an American anesthesiologist who developed it in the 1930s. It is commonly used in emergency medicine, anesthesia, and critical care settings to provide a patent airway and ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation.

Polymed is a medical device company based in India that produces a range of products including Guedel airways. The Polymed Guedel airway is made of non-toxic, medical-grade plastic and is available in a range of sizes to fit patients of different ages and sizes. It is designed to be easy to use and to minimize the risk of complications such as airway trauma, bleeding, or obstruction.
