The i-gel® has a host of features that provide significant benefits to the patient and the clinician. It has a 15 mm connector that is a reliable connection to any standard catheter mount or connection. The i-gel incorporates a gastric channel (except size 1), it provides an early warning of regurgitation, allows for the passing of a nasogastric tube to empty stomach contents and facilitates venting. The non-inflatable cuff is made from a unique soft gel-like material allowing ease of insertion and reduced trauma. This product reduces the possibility of epiglottic ‘down folding’ and airway obstruction.
