v-gel®ADVANCED for rabbits gives a high performance alternative to using endotracheal tubes and face masks. Located in the pharynx, a secure airway seal is obtained through the combination of a gel-like material with design contours that mirror the anatomical airway structures of the rabbit. This delivers a clear and safe airway in less than 8 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
Benefits
New to v-gel ADVANCED
Bowl now envelopes the whole larynx and epiglottis sits inside – avoids folding of epiloglottis and “blue tongue”
Greater seal pressure – even better for ventilating
Each size more flexible in terms of size of rabbit it suits
More space and security for dental procedures
Tying rings broken dorsally and ventrally to avoid catching on incisors during placement
Single use – human medicine standards of hygiene
Plus original features of v-gel rabbit devices
Anatomical matching features combined with a soft material to give a high quality pressure seal
Suited toventilatedas well as spontaneously-breathing patients
Avoids laryngeal and tracheal trauma, which meanssafer anaestheticsand comfortable patient recoveries
Fast, easy, safe andstress-freeinsertions
Nopost-operativecoughingor gagging
Low airway resistancedue to the large airway channel within the device
High quality pressure sealrestricting leakage of volatile anaesthetic agents,thus improving health and safety for staff
Tip inserts into the upper oesophagus to helpprevent and manage regurgitationof stomach contents
