Description
Soft oropharyngeal airway | Rusun TacMed ® is also known as an oral airway, OPA. It is a medical device called an airway adjunct used in airway management to maintain or open a patient’s airway. It does this by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis. When a person becomes unconscious, the muscles in their jaw relax and allow the tongue to obstruct the airway.
Soft oropharyngeal airway | Rusun TacMed ® is totally different from the Guedel oropharyngeal airway. It’s a brand new design for triple functions first aid, sputum suction operation, and anesthesia.
Disadvantages of the traditional oropharyngeal airway include:
√ stiff to damage the oropharyngeal tissues
√ flip is needed
√ irritation to cause the uncomfortable of nerve ending area
√ insufficient air/oxygen provision
Advantages of Rusun TacMed ® soft oropharyngeal airway include:
√ First aid application: New unique design for better ventilation and a more comfortable user experience.
● It can hold the tongue base to prevent the tongue from falling back, thus the patient’s airway would be opened completely.
● With independent endotracheal tube channel & independent ventilation channel. Ventilation from both side channels vastly increased the provision of sufficient air/oxygen.
● Insert directly, no need to flip.
● Made by unique medical elastic material, super slippery surface, reducing damage to oropharyngeal tissues.
● Avoid the nerve-ending area, and reduce irritation, thus making it more comfortable for patients.
√ Easy to do sputum suction operation
● Due to this oropharyngeal airway can hold the tongue base, the sputum suction catheter can be inserted easily from any side of the channels during ventilation.
√ Functions used for anesthesia
● Anesthesia induction period: Assist aspiration
● Anesthesia maintenance period: Fix and protect the endotracheal tube
● Recovery period: Prevent tongue from falling back, assist in performing sputum suction.
There are three sizes: Small for children, Middle / Large for Adults
