Oropharyngeal Airway — a reliable means of maintaining airway patency
Oropharyngeal Airway (ID 47612) from the Rescue Ready brand is a medical device designed for effective maintenance of a patient's oropharyngeal patency. This product belongs to the category: Tactical Medicine > First Aid Supplies > Pneumothorax Treatment. The airway is typically made of rigid plastic or rubber and has a characteristic J-shape, which ensures reliable maintenance of open airways.
Purpose and Application
The oropharyngeal airway is used in emergency medical care, under anesthesia, and in all cases where airway patency needs to be maintained. It is effective in unconscious or sedated patients, as its curved design prevents the tongue from falling back and blocking the airway, facilitating lung ventilation.
Key Features
Features
- Simple Design: The J-shape ensures intuitive use and quick insertion.
- Effectiveness in Unconsciousness: The airway maintains patency in unconscious or sedated patients.
- Prevention of Tongue Obstruction: The curved design reduces the risk of the tongue blocking the airway.
- Reduced Gag Reflex Stimulation: Compared to nasopharyngeal airways, it has a lower likelihood of triggering the gag reflex.
- Variety of Sizes: Available in sizes 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 millimeters, allowing for optimal selection for patients of various ages and anatomies.

Materials and Construction
The airway is made of materials that provide the necessary rigidity to maintain its shape during insertion (plastic or rubber). Its anatomical J-shaped configuration reduces mechanical irritation and ensures unobstructed airflow.
The Rescue Ready Oropharyngeal Airway is suitable for use in emergencies, during anesthesia, and in any situations where quick and reliable airway support is needed. Product information corresponds to the original description and product parameters.
