MAGILL 25 cm: a precise instrument for inserting medical devices in anaesthesia and resuscitation
The Frimed MAGILL 25 cm forceps are an instrument designed specifically to facilitate the insertion of devices such as catheters, endotracheal tubes or nasogastric tubes into the upper respiratory tract. It is commonly used in anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency settings, particularly to guide the passage of a tube into the trachea or oesophagus with the aid of a laryngoscope. Its length of 25 cm makes it particularly suitable for adults or procedures requiring greater depth of access.
This model features a characteristic forward curvature that allows the forceps to align naturally with the airway axis. This provides the practitioner with direct visibility while avoiding obstruction of the line of sight, which is essential during sensitive procedures such as intubation or tracheal suctioning.
The rigid structure of the instrument allows for a firm grip on inserted devices, while providing sufficient flexibility to avoid damaging tissue. The ends of the forceps are rounded and perforated: this detail allows for a better grip on the catheter without exerting excessive pressure on the mucous membranes, thus limiting the risk of injury or slippage. This design is particularly appreciated in delicate procedures where precision and safety are paramount.
The instrument is made of surgical-grade stainless steel, which guarantees high corrosion resistance and long-term durability. It is compatible with conventional steam sterilisation processes. The forceps are equipped with ergonomic rings for a secure grip, even when wearing surgical gloves.
