Description
Product Description
A Guedel pattern airway is a medical device called an airway adjunct used to maintain or open a patient’s airway. It does this by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, which could prevent the person from breathing. When a person becomes unconscious, the muscles in their jaw relax and allow the tongue to obstruct the airway.
Essentially, this rigid tube offers a bite-resistant passage for air from the lips to the posterior pharynx.
The curved portion rests between the posterior pharyngeal wall and the tongue, keeping the epiglottis off the posterior pharyngeal wall (where it would normally be forced into by the flaccid collapse of the tongue).

Indications for use
To ensure airway patency:
- Unconscious patient with loss of upper airway muscle tone
- Unconscious patient with difficult bag/mask seal
- Intubated patient, in whom the oropharyngeal airway acts as a bite block, preventing the kinking of the softer endotracheal tube.
To improve airway hygiene:
- Suctioning a patient with poor secretion clearance.
Safety features
- The airways are colour coded to help recognise the sizes; the length of the tube is marked on the flange with a number.
- The flange limits the depth of insertion – so you cant accidentally lose the tube in somebody’s airway.
- The reinforced bite block prevents occlusion of the airway by clenching of the teeth.
- The rigid construction is kink-resistant.
