Use Suggestion:
This oropharyngeal airway is ideal for emergency medical situations, anesthesia administration, or respiratory support. Select the appropriate size based on the patient’s anatomy—measure from the corner of the mouth to the angle of the jaw. Insert with the curve facing the palate, then rotate 180 degrees into position. Always ensure proper placement to avoid gag reflex in semi-conscious patients.
Note: For professional medical use only. Follow institutional guidelines for airway management.
