Aspir-Guard Throat Packs
CO N S U M A B L E S
Aspir-Guard prevents fluids and dental debris from being accidentally
aspirated during a routine dental procedure.
Numerous publications and textbooks state that the standard of care
requires the use of a material to block the oropharynx from accidental
aspiration of fluids that accumulate during every dental procedure.
Aspir-Guard is a dehydrated PVA donut-shaped guard that when
rehydrated, has a soft gentle sponge-like feel. The rehydrated AspirGuard is placed over the distal end of the ET tube prior to intubation.
The attached strings are used to fasten the Aspir-Guard to the
anaesthetic tie used to secure the ET tube to the patient.
After the patient is intubated, the Aspir-Guard is moved into place
to block the oropharynx from fluid aspiration. Once the procedure is
finished, the Aspir-Guard is gently removed together with the ET tube.
