Rescue Ready Oropharyngeal Airway

An oropharyngeal airway is a medical device for reliably maintaining the patency of a patient's oropharynx. The Rescue Ready brand model is designed for use in emergency care, during anesthesia, and in cases where effective lung ventilation is required. The airway is typically made of rigid plastic or rubber and has a J-shape, which ensures secure fixation and holds the tongue in a position that prevents airway obstruction. The design facilitates airflow and accelerates the restoration of airway patency in unconscious or sedated patients.
 

Description and Purpose

The oropharyngeal airway is used during first aid, in anesthesiology and intensive care units, during evacuation, and in tactical medicine. It helps prevent aspiration and reduce the risk of hypoxia by keeping the oral-pharyngeal passages open. Thanks to its curved shape, the airway prevents the tongue from falling back and blocking breathing, which is especially important when the patient's level of consciousness is inadequate.

Key Features

• Simple Design: The J-shape ensures intuitive and quick application.
• Support for Unconscious Patients: Effective for unconscious or sedated patients where the tongue may obstruct the airway.
• Prevention of Tongue Obstruction: The curved design prevents the tongue from falling back and blocking the airway.
• Reduced Gag Reflex Stimulation: Compared to nasopharyngeal airways, oropharyngeal airways cause less irritation and have a lower likelihood of triggering the gag reflex.
• Materials: Made of rigid plastic or rubber, ensuring the necessary stability and ease of insertion.
• X-ray Compatibility: The airways are radiolucent, allowing for position monitoring during X-ray control.

Sizes and Compatibility

Oropharyngeal airways are available in various sizes to ensure proper fit for patients of different ages and anatomies: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 millimeters. This allows for selecting the optimal size for adults and children depending on the clinical situation.
