S-Guide Intubation Aid with O2 Connector

Description

S-Guide – 3 benefits in 1 product for difficult intubation
The use of malleable stylets or bougies to assist orotracheal intubation is an essential part of difficult airway algorithms. Recent developments in video laryngoscopy could also increase their use in routine intubations. However, this may require maneuverability of the distal end of the endotracheal tube in order to place it through the glottic opening into the trachea. The unique design of the S-Guide enables the orotracheal "tube dance" technique*.
Combining simultaneous rotation of the orotracheal tube with withdrawal of the S-Guide produces a three-dimensional dancing movement at the distal end of the tube.
The S-Guide should be lubricated and bent by 35° at the black marking above the cuff. Withdrawing the S-Guide moves the tip of the tube, while rotating the tube produces a downward movement. The colored tip may protrude from the distal end of the tube.
These simultaneous maneuvers of dynamic S-Guide intubation under video laryngoscopic vision can be very helpful for tracheal intubation, e.g. when it is difficult to advance the tube beyond the glottic opening, or in cases of anatomical peculiarities or oropharyngeal tumors.

S-Guide – 3 benefits in 1 product for difficult intubation
1) Oxygenation through the lumen design and the special O2 connector.
2) The malleable yet firm segment makes handling easier. The black marking shows the ideal position for shaping the tube.
3) The soft pre-shaped tip is marked in orange and is atraumatic. The unique design of the S-Guide combines all the basic specifications of introducers and stylets. This makes it ideal for managing a difficult airway.
