The i-gel is a truly unique airway device and represents the culmination of years of extensive research and development. Everything about the i-gel has been designed to work in perfect unison with the anatomy; the i-gel design was inspired by the physiology of the perilaryngeal framework itself - airway management as nature might have intended.

The shape, softness and contours accurately mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy to create the perfect fit. This innovative concept means that no cuff inflation required. The i-gel works in harmony with the patient's anatomy so that compression and displacement trauma are significantly reduced or eliminated.

i-gel gets its name from the soft gel-like material from which it is made. It is the innovative application of material that has enabled the development of a unique non-inflatable cuff. This key feature means insertion i-gel is easy, rapid and consistently reliable. Using i-gel; the simple, safe and rapid solution i-gel is incredibly easy to use. A proficient user can achieve insertion of the i-gel in less than 5 seconds. i-gel provides a safe and rapid airway management solution.

The cage packs are colour-coded for quick and easy size identification.

i-gel is available in three sizes:

• Size 3 i-gel supraglottic airway for small adults 30-60kg
• Size 4 i-gel supraglottic airway for medium adults 50-90kg
• Size 5 i-gel supraglottic airway for large adults 90+kg.
