Nasal Airway Kit - 28FR 6.0 oz

A nasal airway kit is a thin, clear, flexible tube that is inserted into a patient’s nostril. It is used to bypass upper airway obstruction at the level of the nose, nasopharynx, or base of the tongue. It also prevents the tongue from falling backward on the pharyngeal wall to prevent obstruction.

This kit includes (1) Size 28FR Nasal Airway (fits most adults), (1) individual lubricating jelly packet, (1) cleansing wipe, (1) instructions for use and (1) pair of nitrile exam gloves. All of the items included with this Med Pod are latex free.

The soft PVC allows airways to ease the airways into the passages while reducing discomfort and the risk of injury. The appropriate airway size can be determined by measuring from the tip of the patient’s nose to the tragus of the ear (i.e. soft airway = measure ‘soft to soft’). The average size of a nasopharyngeal airway is 6-7mm for a woman and 7-8mm for a man.
