NASAL AIRWAY-1

COLOR-CODED TRAUMA SYSTEM - *•*••• - NASAL AIRWAY Airway management in a pre-hospital setting is challenging but critical to patient survival. A nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) is a simple-to-insert medical device used to maintain an open airway by responders at all levels. PRE-LUBRICATED: Water-soluble jelly is not required for insertion. The Pre-Lubricated Nasal Airway eliminates the lubrication step before insertion and is purpose-built for the pre-hospital environment. The unique flange is an external bevel indicator and serves as a securing feature to hold the device in place. Our NPA is constructed of medical-grade silicone, which resists the effects of extreme temperatures, retains no memory from storage, and maintains its shape, ensuring an open path for air passage after insertion. It is sized to 28 French or size 7 to fit the small-to-medium-sized adult population for easy First Responder program fielding.1 BEVEL INDICATION: Rounded bevel tip allows for gentle insertion, while the distal flange provides for securing and bevel indication. Silicone material will not kink, crimp, or lose shape and avoids damage to the nasal passage while maximizing patient comfort. 1. Reference: Atanelov Z, Aina T, Amin B, et al. Nasopharyngeal Airway.
