Disposable Latex-Free Nasopharyngeal Airway

A Disposable Latex-Free Nasopharyngeal Airway is a specialized medical device designed to maintain a patent upper airway in conscious, semi-conscious, or sedated patients where oral airway placement is impractical or contraindicated. Crafted from soft, flexible latex-free medical-grade materials (e.g., PVC or TPE), it features a smooth, curved tubular structure with a flanged proximal end and a rounded, atraumatic distal end-engineered to be inserted through the nasal passage into the pharynx, displacing soft tissues and preventing airway obstruction. Its latex-free design eliminates allergy risks, making it a safe and essential tool for healthcare providers in hospitals, ICUs, emergency departments, and pre-hospital care settings.

The device's anatomical curvature aligns with the natural path of the nasal cavity and pharynx, ensuring gentle insertion with minimal discomfort or trauma to nasal mucosa. The soft, flexible material adapts to individual anatomical variations, reducing the risk of nasal irritation or epistaxis (nosebleeds). The flanged proximal end prevents overinsertion and accidental dislodgement, while the hollow lumen maintains unobstructed airflow for spontaneous breathing or supplemental oxygen delivery. Available in a range of sizes to accommodate infants, pediatric patients, and adults, the device is color-coded for rapid size identification-streamlining decision-making in time-sensitive emergencies. It requires no complex assembly: select the appropriate size, lubricate the distal end, insert gently through the nasal passage, and confirm airway patency. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality testing, including dimensional accuracy checks, biocompatibility evaluations, and flexibility verification, complying with ISO 13485, CE, and NMPA standards for safe and reliable airway management.

Product Properties

 

 

1. Latex-Free Safety: Eliminates latex allergy risks, suitable for patients and healthcare providers with latex sensitivities.
2. Anatomical Curvature: Curved design aligns with nasal-pharyngeal anatomy, enabling gentle, atraumatic insertion.
3. Soft & Flexible Material: Adapts to individual nasal structures, reducing irritation and epistaxis risk.
4. Secure Placement: Flanged proximal end prevents overinsertion and dislodgement during patient care or movement.
5. Rapid Size Identification: Color-coded hubs enable quick size selection in emergency scenarios, saving critical time.
6. Disposable Convenience: Single-patient use eliminates cross-infection risks; no cleaning or reprocessing required.
7. Multi-Scenario Compatibility: Suitable for conscious patients (tolerated better than oral airways) and those with oral trauma or trismus (jaw stiffness).

Application

 

 

1. Emergency Care: Stabilizes airways in patients with altered mental status, trauma, or overdose where oral airway placement is not feasible.
2. ICU & Critical Care: Supports airway management for sedated, ventilated, or critically ill patients (e.g., those with facial burns, oral surgery, or trismus).
3. Anesthesia: Used during general anesthesia for patients requiring airway support without oral device interference (e.g., dental procedures).
4. Pre-Hospital Care: Essential for ambulance crews and first responders to manage airways in patients with oral trauma or difficulty tolerating oral airways.
5. Pediatric & Neonatal Care: Size-adapted, soft-design options for infants and children with delicate nasal and pharyngeal tissues.
6. Post-Operative Care: Provides airway support for patients recovering from head, neck, or oral surgeries where oral breathing is compromised.

Certifications: Complies with ISO 13485, CE, and NMPA medical device standards. Each production batch undergoes dimensional accuracy testing to ensure consistency across sizes, latex-free verification to confirm no latex contaminants, biocompatibility assessments (cytotoxicity, sensitization) for nasal contact materials, flexibility testing to validate atraumatic insertion, and sterility validation for EO-sterilized units. Unique batch number is assigned for full production and distribution traceability, and detailed Instruction for Use (IFU) is provided.

1. Packing: Individual EO-sterilized paper-plastic composite packaging (single unit per pack); bulk transport in sturdy corrugated cartons with anti-crush dividers. Each package is labeled with size, French (Fr) number, color code, and sterilization indicator for easy identification.
2. Storage: Store in a clean, dry, well-ventilated environment (temperature 5℃~40℃, relative humidity ≤80%). Avoid direct sunlight, high heat, or contact with sharp objects and corrosive substances. Keep packaging intact until immediate use.
3. Handling: For single-patient use only-do not reuse, reprocess, or share to prevent cross-infection. Select the correct size based on patient age, weight, or nasal passage diameter; inspect the device for cracks, deformities, or contamination before insertion. Lubricate the distal end with a water-soluble lubricant prior to insertion to minimize tissue irritation.
4. Transportation: Transport in accordance with medical device regulations. Protect from violent collision, rain, or moisture to preserve product sterility, structural integrity, and flexibility.
