Description

The Robertazzi Nasopharyngeal Airway, 34 Fr, is a specialized medical device designed to maintain upper airway patency in patients requiring respiratory support. Its primary function is to bypass obstructions in the nasal passage to facilitate unobstructed airflow, especially in emergency or prehospital settings. This airway is particularly effective for semi-conscious or unconscious patients where oropharyngeal airway insertion is not appropriate.

Constructed from soft, pliable neoprene, the device offers flexibility while maintaining structural integrity. The material selection reduces the risk of tissue trauma during insertion and is suitable for patients with latex sensitivity, as it is not made with natural rubber latex. The smooth, rounded distal tip promotes comfortable placement and minimizes mucosal irritation.

The trumpet-shaped flange at the proximal end helps secure the airway in place and prevents it from slipping into the nasal passage. Its flared design also allows for quick visual confirmation of correct placement and ensures ease of removal when clinically indicated. The 34 French (Fr) size accommodates adult patients, providing a balance between sufficient airflow and patient comfort.
