Specifications
- Coude bend (angled end) 2 cm from its distal end vibrates over the tracheal rings as the introducer is moved down the trachea, confirming to the intubator that it is correctly placed
- The adult Flex-Guide has 1 cm band at 37 cm from its proximal end to quickly and easily help to determine correct placement depth. This bold marking is especially useful in emergency intubation situations when seconds matter
- The pediatric Flex-Guide has 10 cm markings and a lesser coude angle to account for the smaller size of the pediatric trachea
- The Flex-Guide is similar to a "gum-elastic bougie", only more economical
