Dufort et Lavigne

• For rapid intubation of difficult airways
• Appropriate for prehospital, surgical and emergency use
• Designed to establish a nonsurgical patent airway when placed into either the trachea or the esophagus
• Unique double-lumen design allows for rapid airway establishment through either esophageal or tracheal placement
• Blind placement eliminates the need for laryngoscope
• Pharyngeal balloon holds device firmly in place and helps prevent the escape of gas through the nose or mouth
• Full-length lumen allows for suctioning of gastric contents with no interruption of ventilation in the event the Mallinckrodt Esophageal Tracheal Airway is placed in the esophagus
• Esophageal cuff inflates to seal the esophagus so gas does not enter the stomach and gastric contents are not aspirated
