iGel Airway Release
As of June 1st, 2019 the BREMS Region will begin using the iGel Airway in place of the KING LTD Airway.
The i-gel® is the innovative second generation supraglottic airway device
from Intersurgical. The first major development since the laryngeal mask
airway, i-gel has changed the face of airway management and is now widely
used in anesthesia and resuscitation across the globe.
Made from a medical grade thermoplastic elastomer, i-gel has been designed
to create a non-inflatable, anatomical seal of the pharyngeal, laryngeal
and perilaryngeal structures whilst avoiding compression trauma. Launched
in 2007 after years of extensive research and development, i-gel now has
an established reputation in anesthesia with three adult and four
pediatric sizes in the range, ideal for use with patient weights between
2-90+kg. In 2012, the indications for use were expanded to include use as
a conduit for intubation (with fiberoptic guidance).
