This means that the bougie is inserted into the airway first, then an endotracheal tube is placed over the bougie and into the airway. The bougie is then removed, leaving the airway device in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBougies are commonly used in emergency situations where intubation is needed but traditional methods may be difficult or impossible. For example, if a patient has a narrow or blocked airway, a bougie can be used to help open it up so that an endotracheal tube can be inserted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBougies come in a variety of sizes, and the size that is used will depend on the individual patient's airway. In some cases, a bougie may need to be inserted several times before an endotracheal tube can be placed successfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvantages of using a bougie include that they are reinforced with memory to mimic gum elastic bougies, have an ultra-smooth surface for low friction, and an atraumatic tip to minimise the risk of patient trauma. They are also supplied sterile, individually packaged in easy-to-open sachets, and are 60cm long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBougies are an essential tool for any medical professional who may need to intubate a patient in an emergency situation. They are safe, easy to use, and can help save a patient's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced with memory to mimic gum elastic bougies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-smooth surface for low friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtraumatic tip to minimise the risk of patient trauma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraduation mark at each centimetre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngled coudé tip for ease of intubation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVented lumen option available for oxygen feed if required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied sterile, individually packaged in easy to open sachets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60cm long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelpful for blind intubations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Acana Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55930961232254,"sku":"WSTE0175","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/5159\/9742\/files\/wste0175.jpg?v=1752148486","url":"https:\/\/acana-medical.myshopify.com\/products\/endotracheal-et-tube-introducer-bougie-15fr","provider":"Acana Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
