Nasopharyngeal Airway 32Fr

The 32Fr nasopharyngeal airway from the PARAMEDIC brand is a medical device for restoring and maintaining airway patency in casualties who have lost consciousness or are in conditions where the tongue obstructs the airway. Structurally, it is a flexible latex tube inserted through a nostril into the nasopharynx, creating a reliable and stable passage for air.

One end of the airway has a special bevel that facilitates insertion into the nasal cavity, while the other end is equipped with a wide flat ring (flange) that prevents accidental full immersion of the device into the airway. Unlike an oropharyngeal airway, the nasal option causes a less pronounced gag reflex and ensures better airway patency during casualty movement and transport.

Advantages and Purpose

The 32Fr airway is designed for emergency use in tactical medicine and urgent care: it ensures breathing patency in case of loss of consciousness, reduces the risk of hypoxia and subsequent complications, facilitates artificial lung ventilation if necessary, and is convenient for casualty transport. The material — latex — provides sufficient flexibility and comfort during insertion.

Application:

• 1) Lubricate the airway with a water-based lubricant.
• 2) Gently tilt the casualty's head back if there is no suspicion of spinal injury.
• 3) Carefully, rotating the airway around its axis, insert it into the nostril; do not push with force, use rotational movements.
• 4) Dispose of after use.

Specifications:

• Length: 15 cm
• Material: latex
• Shelf life: unlimited

This airway is compatible with tactical first-aid kits and is recommended for use in emergency situations where quick and reliable respiratory support is needed. Thanks to its flanged design, the device is secured externally, minimizing the risk of deep airway penetration and simplifying position control during casualty movement. Before use, check the integrity of the tube and the availability of the necessary water-based lubricant.
