An oropharyngeal airway (also known as an oral airway, OPA or 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.
By using the latest manufacturing technology Intersurgical have produced the first major breakthrough in Guedel airway design for thirty years. Combining two materials with very different physical characteristics into one moulding, our One-Piece design eliminates the separate bite block found in all conventional Guedel airways.
Loose or detached bite blocks constitute a real threat to patient safety and have been the subject of several hazard notices in the past. Our One-piece design overcomes all of the associated risks.
As well as improved safety, the One-piece also incorporates a soft tip reducing the risk of trauma to the patient.
Our one-piece Guedel range is also fully compliant to the colour coding guidance outlined in ISO 5364:2016.
