NAR 28 Fr Pre-Lubricated Nasopharyngeal Airway
NAR 28 Fr Pre-Lubricated Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) is a professional medical device designed to establish and maintain airway patency during pre-hospital care. Manufactured by the American brand North American Rescue, it is widely used in tactical medicine in accordance with TCCC principles and is suitable for inclusion in individual IFAKs and medical aid bags.
The key feature of the Pre-Lubricated version is the pre-applied sterile, water-based medical lubricant. The airway comes sealed and ready for use, eliminating the need to open and apply a separate lubricating gel. This reduces preparation time and allows the airway to be deployed more quickly in critical situations.
Product Features and Benefits:
Immediate readiness (Pre-Lubricated): The airway is pre-lubricated with a certified, water-based medical lubricant and is ready for insertion immediately after opening the sealed package.
Versatile application: Designed to help maintain an open airway in both unconscious and semi-conscious patients with an intact gag reflex, unlike oropharyngeal airways.
Atraumatic design: The anatomically designed shape, soft beveled tip, and rounded edges promote smooth and safe insertion while minimizing discomfort and the risk of mucosal injury or internal bleeding.
Premium materials: Made from high-quality medical-grade silicone. The flexible material resists kinking and breakage, conforms to the anatomy of the nasopharynx, and helps maintain consistent airflow.
Hypoallergenic (Latex-Free): The material contains no latex, eliminating the risk of latex-related allergic reactions and irritation.
Secure packaging: The airway is supplied in a durable, compact, hermetically sealed individual blister pack that helps maintain product sterility in field conditions.
Made in USA: An original product manufactured in the United States in accordance with established military and medical standards.
