Secure critical airways rapidly with the Safe Guard Medical Pre-Lubricated Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) 28F, the same size trusted in military-style IFAKs and professional EMS kits worldwide. This soft, flexible nasal trumpet provides immediate airway access when seconds count.

Key Features:

• Pre-Lubricated for Rapid Deployment: Water-based lubricant applied, eliminating extra steps during emergencies
• 28F Standard Size: Most common NPA diameter, fits average adult patients (equivalent to 28 French)
• Soft, Flexible PVC Construction: Gentle on nasal passages, conforms to anatomy without causing trauma
• Rounded, Atraumatic Tip: Smooth insertion minimizes tissue damage and patient discomfort
• Flared End Design: Prevents over-insertion and accidental airway loss
• Latex-Free: Safe for patients with latex allergies and sensitivities

Clinical Applications:

The NPA 28F is an essential airway management tool for:

• Semi-conscious or unconscious patients requiring airway support
• Patients with intact gag reflex (where OPA would cause vomiting)
• Trismus, clenched jaw, or facial trauma limiting mouth access
• Pre-hospital emergency care and ambulance services
• Tactical medicine and combat casualty care
• Hospital emergency departments and surgical anesthesia

Why 28F NPA: Size 28 French (approximately 9.3mm internal diameter) is the gold standard for adult airway management, fitting most patients without requiring multiple sizes. This is the exact specification included in military IFAKs and recommended by TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) guidelines.

Insertion Technique:

1. Select right nostril if possible (typically more patent)
2. Insert bevel toward septum with gentle twisting motion
3. Advance along nasal floor (not upward toward brain)
4. Stop when flange reaches nostril opening
5. Confirm airway patency and monitor patient

Ideal For:

• Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) and trauma kits
• EMS jump bags and ambulance medical gear
• Tactical medical kits and law enforcement equipment
• Wilderness medicine and remote expedition supplies
• Hospital crash carts and emergency departments
• Military medic bags and combat lifesaver kits

Package Contents: Single sterile nasopharyngeal airway, 28 French, pre-lubricated and individually wrapped for immediate use.

Important Safety Information: Contraindicated in suspected basilar skull fractures. Use caution with patients on blood thinners or with nasal obstructions. Proper sizing and insertion technique reduce epistaxis (nosebleed) risk. Training recommended before field deployment.

Equip your medical kit with the NPA 28F—the airway adjunct trusted by professionals when every breath matters.
