PopitzPillow Supine Sniff Positioner

PopitzPillow Supine Sniff Positioner consistently places a patient into the perfect sniff position instantly, providing a reliable alternative to folded towels, blankets, or pillows to support and cradle the patient's head during intubation or mask ventilation. Stop hunting around for pillows or blanket rolls and end time-consuming positioning of patients and failed intubation attempts. Just place the patient's head on the pillow and perfect Sniff is achieved. The PopitzPillow Supine Sniff Positioner allows for the same quality of laryngeal alignment every time and by everyone who uses it. Great to keep on the code cart for easier mask ventilation. During mask anesthesia (conscious sedation) the airway becomes obstructed due to the relaxation of the muscular structures of the oropharynx. This can require the patient's jaw to be held. The Sniff Positioner enables the airway to remain open. In the event of respiratory failure, the respiratory therapist, utilizing the support pillow, can ventilate the patient without any difficulty until a skilled intubator arrives. Automatic alignment of the oropharyngeal, laryngeal, and tracheal axes reduces the chance of trauma to adjacent tissues. Available in two sizes.

Standard: 9-1/2"W x 6"L x 8-1/2"H • X-Large: 15"W x 18"L x 5"H
