Magill Catheter Introducing Fcps 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to assist airway and ENT procedures where controlled placement or retrieval of tubing is required. Commonly used by anesthesia and airway teams to guide endotracheal and nasotracheal tubes, introduce suction or feeding catheters, and retrieve foreign bodies from the oropharynx or hypopharynx. The slender, angled profile enables precise manipulation under direct or laryngoscopic visualization, reducing the need for blind advancement and minimizing mucosal trauma.

Design & Configuration

The angled shaft geometry provides an ergonomic line of approach to the posterior oropharynx and laryngeal inlet, allowing clinicians to align tubes and catheters with the airway axis while maintaining clear visualization. A 17 cm working length balances reach into the pharynx with control at the handle, enabling fine movements without excessive shaft flex. Blunt, atraumatic jaws are intended to hold soft tubing securely without creating sharp pressure points on mucosa.
