Intersurgical i-Gel® Supraglottic Airway
The Intersurgical i-Gel® Supraglottic Airway is a single-use airway management device engineered to work in harmony with patient anatomy for rapid, reliable placement in emergency and clinical environments. Manufactured by Intersurgical and distributed by Bound Tree Medical, the i-Gel features a non-inflatable cuff made from a soft gel-like material designed to reduce insertion time and minimize trauma during airway management procedures.
Features and Benefits
- Non-inflatable cuff design helps simplify insertion while reducing compression and displacement trauma
- Soft gel-like construction mirrors perilaryngeal anatomy for an anatomical fit and reliable seal
- Single-use airway device supports infection control protocols in EMS, hospital, and tactical medical settings
- Latex-free and PVC-free construction helps accommodate sensitive patient populations
- Integrated gastric channel on most sizes allows gastric access, venting, and early indication of regurgitation
- 15mm connector provides compatibility with standard catheter mounts and airway connections
- Integral bite block helps reduce airway channel occlusion during patient care
- Buccal cavity stabilizer aids insertion and helps prevent device rotation after placement
- Epiglottic rest helps reduce the risk of epiglottic downfolding and airway obstruction
- Clearly marked sizing and guidance information supports quick identification during emergency response
- Available adult sizing includes Size 4 for medium adults from 110–198lbs. and Size 5 for large adults over 198lbs.
Why It Matters
The i-Gel Supraglottic Airway is designed for fast deployment in resuscitation, emergency airway management, and controlled ventilation scenarios. Its cuffless design eliminates the need for inflation, helping trained providers establish an airway quickly with fewer procedural steps. For EMS crews, emergency departments, and tactical medical personnel, the i-Gel provides a streamlined airway option focused on reliable placement and operational efficiency.
