i-gel® Plus

Introducing the i-gel® Plus - i-gel has evolved!

The i-gel® Plus represents one of the most significant advances in the design of supraglottic airways since the original i-gel® was introduced in 2007. It combines all the features and benefits of standard i-gel® and the i-gel® O₂ with a number of key product enhancements, to help improve performance and safety and optimise ease of use.

The main features of the i-gel® Plus include:

Larger gastric channel – allows for the insertion of a larger gastric tube
Intubation ramp – optimises use as a conduit for intubation
Longer cuff tip – to help improve the oesophageal seal

Introducing the USB™ - a hybrid stylet and bougie in one simple to use device.

We are delighted to introduce to you the latest addition to our Airway Management.

The unique design of the USB™ incorporates two metal inserts either side of a more flexible section. As a result, the USB™ can easily be manipulated to a variety of angles when used as a stylet, yet has the flexibility when used as a bougie to provide a significantly enhanced level of tracheal ring feedback.

The USB™ represents a significant advance in the design and development of tracheal introducers (bougies) and stylets and offers a number of key advantages over traditional bougies and stylets:

• Hybrid bougie and stylet
• Improved insertion and removal
• Improved storage
• Improved tracheal ring detection
