Suggested Use:
This nasopharyngeal airway is ideal for emergency situations, anesthesia administration, or when oral airway access is limited. Lubricate the airway with a water-soluble gel before gently inserting it into the nostril, following the natural curvature of the nasal passage. Ensure proper sizing by measuring from the nostril to the earlobe. Always confirm placement and monitor the patient for comfort and airflow.
Note: For single-patient use only. Dispose of properly after use.
