I-gel Supraglottic Airway Infant Size, 10/Case
The I-gel Supraglottic Airway is a recently introduced airway device that is made of silicone. It is designed to be inserted into the mouth and glide over the tongue to the supraglottic area. The I-gel is then inflated with a syringe to form a seal and prevent air leakage. The I-gel is available in infant and pediatric sizes.
