Grafco® Berman-Type Oral Airways are made of smooth, flexible white polyethylene and utilize a dual channel design that allows a suction catheter or endotracheal tube to slide into the pharyngeal space even if the airway is partially obstructed. The disposable airways are available in six sizes to provide proper sizing for each patient. Kits come complete with all six sizes in a plastic bag or box.
Note: Airway will stay in place without securement by keeping patient's head in a tilted position. Taping an oropharyngeal airway in place is contraindicated as it can lead to aspiration if the patient starts to gag or cough and can't expel the device. Airways should be removed intermittently according to your facility's policy and the patient's condition to inspect oral cavities and provide mouth care. Proper sizing is essential to ensure airway patency; device intended to be used by properly trained healthcare professionals.
