Cat v-gel Advanced. Supraglottic Airway Devices (SGADs) are widely used during human anaesthesia and resuscitation. An SGAD is an alternative to an endotracheal tube, used to deliver anaesthetic gases and/or oxygen to anaesthetised patients. Designed to sit in the pharynx, they avoid many of the problems caused by ET tubes such as laryngeal and tracheal trauma. They are also quick and easy to place and are useful for emergency resuscitation. v-gel® devices are the first veterinary species-specific SGADs, currently used all over the world in cats and rabbits. v-gel® devices are suitable for a wide variety of procedures, including dental work.
