Areas of application and application
Oropharyngeal tubes are used to temporarily secure a free airway and are primarily used in preparatory measures, emergency management, induction of anesthesia and situations close to resuscitation. The application includes keeping the airways open by moving the tongue and allowing secretions to be sucked out and facilitated Ventilation with bag-mask systems. Differences in size, material and sterility status determine the specific use for adults, adolescents and children.
Product types and designs
The category contains various types of oropharyngeal tubes: standard Guedel-like tubes in several sizes, color-coded sets for quick size selection, disposable or sterile individual packaging as well as reusable models made of dimensionally stable plastics or soft silicone. There are also ergonomic versions with a soft mouth tip and tubes with fiberglass reinforcement for dimensional stability.
