v-gel® Advanced for rabbits, gives a high performance alternative to using endotracheal tube and face mask. Located in the pharynx, a secure airway seal is obtained through the combination of a soft material and design contours, that mirror the anatomical airway structures of the rabbit. This delivers a clear and safe airway in under 10 seconds, avoids patient trauma and provides a seal enabling mechanical or manual ventilation.
The v-gel®, once sited securely in the pharynx, allows lateral movement giving the user good access around the mouth for routine dental procedures.
v-gel® Advanced benefits
- Anatomical matching features combined with a soft material means pharyngeal bowl envelopes the whole larynx and epiglottis sits inside – avoids folding of epiglottis and lingual congestion (giving appearance of a “blue tongue”)
- Suited to ventilated as well as spontaneously-breathing patients
- Avoids laryngeal and tracheal trauma, which means safer anaesthetics and comfortable patient recoveries
- Fast, easy, safe and stress-free insertions
- No post-operative coughing or gagging
- Low airway resistance due to the large airway channel within the device
- Each size is flexible in terms of size of rabbit it suits. Preference is always to use the largest device that will sit securely in the pharynx
- Tying rings broken dorsally and ventrally to avoid catching on incisors during placement
- Good quality pressure seal restricting leakage of volatile anaesthetic agents, thus improving health and safety for staff
- Tip inserts into the upper oesophagus to help prevent and manage regurgitation of stomach contents
- Safer, smoother recoveries
- Ideal for safer dental procedures giving more space and security
- Low dead space connector
- Single use – human medicine standards of hygiene
