An Oral Pharyngeal Airway Berman Type is a specialized disposable medical device designed for maintaining a patent upper airway in unconscious or sedated patients. Unlike the curved Guedel design, it features a straight, hollow tubular structure with a flanged proximal end and a rounded, atraumatic distal end-engineered to bypass oropharyngeal obstruction by displacing the tongue and soft tissues forward. Crafted from medical-grade PVC, it is a critical tool for healthcare providers in operating rooms, ICUs, emergency departments, and pre-hospital care settings, ensuring unobstructed airflow for patients unable to protect their own airway.
The Berman Type's straight anatomical design allows for easier insertion in patients with specific facial or oral structures, while its smooth, non-irritating surface minimizes trauma to the tongue, palate, and pharyngeal mucosa. The flanged proximal end prevents overinsertion and accidental dislodgement, ensuring secure placement during ventilation or patient movement. Available in a comprehensive range of sizes (from infant to adult), 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, insert gently along the midline of the mouth, and confirm unobstructed breathing via visual or auscultatory assessment. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality testing, including dimensional precision checks, biocompatibility evaluations, and structural integrity verification, complying with ISO 13485, CE, and NMPA standards for safe and reliable airway management.

Product Properties

- Straight Anatomical Design: Facilitates easy insertion in patients with unique facial/oral structures; bypasses obstruction effectively.
- Atraumatic Construction: Rounded distal end and smooth surface minimize irritation or injury to oral and pharyngeal tissues.
- Secure Placement: Flanged proximal end prevents overinsertion and dislodgement during patient care or transportation.
- Rapid Size Identification: Color-coded hubs enable quick size selection in emergency scenarios, saving critical time.
- Transparent Material: Allows visual inspection of airway patency and secretion buildup for timely intervention.
- Disposable Convenience: Single-patient use eliminates cross-infection risks; no cleaning or reprocessing required.
- Anesthesia: Used during general anesthesia, especially for patients undergoing head, neck, or oral surgeries where a straight airway is preferred.
- Emergency Care: Stabilizes airways in patients with altered mental status (e.g., trauma, drug overdose, cardiac arrest) to prevent hypoxia.
- ICU & Critical Care: Supports airway management for sedated, ventilated, or critically ill patients unable to maintain spontaneous airway patency.
- Pre-Hospital Care: Essential for ambulance crews and first responders to stabilize airways during patient transport.
- Pediatric & Neonatal Care: Size-adapted options for infants and children requiring airway support, with gentle design to suit delicate tissues.

QA&QC

Certifications: Complies with ISO 13485, CE, and NMPA medical device standards. Each production batch undergoes dimensional accuracy testing to ensure consistency across sizes, biocompatibility assessments (cytotoxicity, sensitization) for oral contact materials, structural integrity verification to confirm resistance to deformation, 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.
Packing, Storage, Handling and Transportation
- 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, color code, and sterilization indicator for easy identification.
- 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.
- 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 jaw length; inspect the device for cracks, deformities, or contamination before insertion. Follow proper insertion technique to avoid trauma to oral tissues or airway displacement.
- Transportation: Transport in accordance with medical device regulations. Protect from violent collision, rain, or moisture to preserve product sterility, structural integrity, and performance.
