Here are some fun facts: The oropharyngeal airway (OPA) was invented by American anesthesiologist Dr. Arthur Ernest Guedel in 1933; the modern nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) was introduced by German anesthesiologist Hans Karl Wendl in 1958. Somehow, no one received the memo that airway management devices need to evolve—until now.
The AERIS Airway®, which, when combined with a standard Guedel OPA or NPA, creates an Advanced Sedation Airway Platform that’s rewriting the rulebook on airway patency.
Meet AERIS®:
🔹 Fits seamlessly into standard Guedel OPAs and NPAs — no special equipment, no learning curve
🔹 Directs oxygen straight to the supraglottis, right where it's needed most
🔹 Delivers reliable capnography via a dedicated CO₂ sampling port—so you’re never left guessing.
Simply put: better airway management, less improvising, more confidence.
Anesthesia providers, curious what AERIS® can do in your practice? We’d love to get a sample in your hands.
