i-gel Supraglottic Airway Management Device: Advanced Innovation for Safe Intubation Range
i‑gel® Supraglottic Airway – Intersurgical
The i‑gel® is a cutting-edge, second-generation supraglottic airway device by Intersurgical, designed to deliver fast, safe, and minimally traumatic airway management across neonatal to adult patients (2–90+ kg)
- Anatomical, non-inflatable cuff moulds to perilaryngeal structures for a firm seal—no inflation needed
- Rapid insertion—clinicians can typically achieve correct placement in under 5 seconds
- Reduced trauma vs inflatable cuffs; made from soft, medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer
- Integral bite block, buccal stabilizer, and epiglottic rest enhance placement safety and avoid airway obstruction
- Gastric channel (all sizes except neonate) supports regurgitated fluid venting, suctioning, or gastric tube insertion for enhanced safety
- Latex- and PVC-free, sterile, single-use, supplied in colour-coded cradle or cage packaging to preserve anatomy and sterility
The i-gel® is the innovative second generation supraglottic airway device from Intersurgical. The first major development since the laryngeal mask airway, i-gel has changed the face of airway management and is now widely used in anaesthesia and resuscitation across the globe.
Made from a medical grade thermoplastic elastomer, i-gel has been designed to create a non-inflatable, anatomical seal of the pharyngeal, laryngeal and perilaryngeal structures whilst avoiding compression trauma.
Why use the i-gel®?
• Ease and speed of insertion
• Reduced trauma
• Superior seal pressure
• Gastric access
• Integral bite block
• Non-inflatable cuff
What makes i-gel® unique?
i-gel has a soft, gel-like, non-inflatable cuff, designed to provide an anatomical impression fit over the laryngeal inlet.
The shape, softness and contours accurately mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy - an innovative concept meaning no cuff inflation is required.
Working in harmony with the patient's anatomy, compression and displacement trauma are significantly reduced or eliminated.
