NasoSafe

01 Product Description

NasoSafe is an innovative Nasopharyngeal Airway. The swivel safety grip eliminates the risk of the airway from being drawn down the nasal passage whilst providing maximum comfort for the patient

Patient Comfort

The safety grip can be rotated through 360° to place the airway in the most convenient and comfortable position without blocking the free nostril.

Allows Access

NasoSafe is ideal when the oral passage is not accessible and allows for nasotracheal suctioning.

Reduced Risk of Injury

The rounded edge of the tip combined with the angle cut design helps reduce the risk of injury during intubation.

Size Colour Coding

Available in 11 sizes with colour coded swivel grips, that co-ordinate with suction catheter sizes.

Swivel Safety Grip

The NasoSafe swivel grip prevents the nasopharyngeal airway from being drawn into the nasal passage without the need for an additional fixation device, such as a safety pin.

Better Tolerance

NasoSafe is better tolerated by awake patients than oropharyngeal airways.

NasoSafe is best inserted when the patient is in the supine position. The airway should be lubricated with a water soluble lubricant prior to insertion.

The rounded bevelled tip reduces mucosal wall trauma and guides the airway along the floor of the nasal passage. When correctly in place the tip of the airway should be visible behind the uvula.
