The CapnoFlow Oral Airway provides hospitals with clear advantages over traditional Guedel and Berman airways by combining airway patency with integrated monitoring, reducing risk, and improving efficiency.
Hospitals adopting CapnoFlow gain dual functionality in one device: airway patency plus integrated CO₂ monitoring. This not only enhances patient safety but also reduces equipment clutter, streamlines staff workflow, and lowers overall costs. Compared to Guedel and Berman airways, CapnoFlow represents a modern, efficiency‑driven solution aligned with hospital priorities of safety, compliance, and cost control.
Enhanced patient safety: Unlike Guedel and Berman airways, which only maintain airway patency, CapnoFlow integrates a channel for continuous capnography monitoring. This allows clinicians to track ventilation in real time, reducing the risk of undetected hypoventilation or airway compromise.
Streamlined workflow: Hospitals benefit from fewer device changes. With Guedel or Berman, staff often need separate monitoring equipment. CapnoFlow consolidates airway support and CO₂ monitoring into one device, saving time during procedures like endoscopy or sedation.
Cost efficiency: By combining airway management and monitoring, CapnoFlow reduces the need for multiple disposables and equipment setups. This lowers per‑procedure costs and simplifies procurement compared to stocking multiple sizes of both Guedel and Berman airways plus separate monitoring accessories.
Improved infection control: CapnoFlow is designed as a single‑use disposable, minimizing cross‑contamination risks. Traditional Guedel and Berman airways are often reused or require more complex sterilization protocols.
Clinical versatility: While Guedel and Berman airways are primarily used for unconscious patients to prevent tongue obstruction, CapnoFlow is optimized for hospital procedures requiring both airway patency and monitoring — such as upper endoscopies, bronchoscopy, and sedation cases.
