This Guedel Airway is an oropharyngeal airway (also known as an oral airway or OPA).
It is a medical device to be inserted into the mouth to maintain or open a patient’s airway, by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, which could prevent the person from breathing. This can happen when a person becomes unconscious. The jaw muscles becomes relaxed then and allow the tongue to obstruct the airway.

To maximize effectiveness and minimize possible complications and oral trauma, this Guedel Airway needs to be of the appropriate size and inserted correctly.
