Which iGel is designed for patients weighing 90+ kg?

The #5 iGel is specifically designed for patients weighing 90 kg and above, making it the appropriate choice for managing airway ventilation in that population. The design of the iGel airway device takes into consideration factors such as the size of the patient's anatomy and the volume of air that needs to be managed for effective ventilation.

The #5 model accommodates larger airway passageways and is designed with a larger cuff volume, providing a better fit for patients in the higher weight category. This ensures that the device creates an adequate seal and maintains airway patency during emergency situations, leading to better clinical outcomes.

The other models cater to different weight categories, with each designed to provide the best fit and function for patients within specific ranges, but only the #5 iGel is suitable for those weighing over 90 kg.
