Buyer questions, answered

Clear answers for preparing a comparable sourcing request for Guedel Airway.

How do you measure the correct Guedel airway size?

Hold the airway against the side of the face. The correct size reaches from the center of the front teeth to the angle of the jaw. An airway that is too long can push the epiglottis down; one that is too short can push the tongue back.

What do the Guedel airway colors mean?

Each color marks one size so staff can pick the right airway quickly. Color schemes are not identical across brands, so check the size printed on the airway or pack as well. The color chart for this product is confirmed with the specification sheet.

What is the difference between a Guedel and a Berman airway?

A Guedel airway has a central tubular channel. A Berman airway has open side channels, which some clinicians use to guide a suction catheter or fiberoptic scope. Both are oropharyngeal airways; this page lists the Guedel type.

Which Guedel airway sizes can be supplied?

The range starts at size 000 for neonates and runs to adult sizes. The upper end of the range for this item is confirmed with your quotation; send the sizes you need and the quantity per size.
