C-19™ WATER ACTIVATED LUBRICANT (Hydrophilic)
- Aids in insertion and provides greater patient comfort by coating and protecting nares.
- Facilitates the removal of the stylet by minimizing the coefficient of friction.
TUNGSTEN CYLINDERS AS WEIGHTS
- The shape of the weights provide flexibility. Follows natural curvature of nasopharynx into esophagus. Maximizes patient comfort upon intubation.
