i-gel® and natural airway management
The i-gel® is a truly unique single use, latex and PVC free airway device, representing 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.

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

The non-inflatable cuff
i-gel® gets its name from the soft gel-like material from which it is made. It is the innovative application of this material that has enabled the development of a unique non-inflatable cuff. This key feature means insertion of i-gel® is easy, rapid and consistently reliable.

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. With no inflatable cuff, i-gel® provides a safe and rapid airway management solution
