This Supraglottic Airway Is Your Solution For Emergency Intubation
Healthcare providers must act fast and with efficiency during an emergency intubation. Accuracy and precision are key to preventing complications and even death.1
The laryngeal mask airway (or supraglottic airway) can be an appropriate alternative to an endotracheal tube (ETT) when emergency intubation is needed, or when a patient may not need to be intubated for a long time.2
THE AIR-Q®3 IS AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION WHEN EMERGENCY INTUBATION IS NEEDED
The Air-Q3 from AirLife is a supraglottic airway that delivers safety and confidence in airway management, no matter the airway challenge.
The advanced, silicone Air-Q3 includes an epiglottis elevator and raised heal to optimize airway placement and seal. The Air-Q3 provides anatomically correct placement of the masked airway, an epiglottis elevator to maximize access, and a guide ramp to assist with ETT insertion and placement. The Air-Q3 aids in fast, easy and safe intubations for neonates and adults.
Additional Air-Q3 features include:
- Removable tethered connector to help avoid misplacement
- Removable color-coded connector to allow intubation with any standard ETT
- Easy-to-place integrated bite block to reinforce the tube
- Soft, medical-grade silicone cuff and airway tube
- Latex-free, single-patient use and disposable
- Neonatal sizes 0 and 0.5 available
Available in four models, the Air-Q3 series includes self-pressurizing and gastric models with additional features. Each model comes in multiple sizes. Click here for more information.
