Magill Forceps

Description

Multigate Medical Products’ Magill Catheter Forceps are single‑use, sterile forceps designed for airway and tracheal management. The twin‑bladed, angled profile with ring handles supports precise control under direct vision, while the rounded, serrated gripping tips help secure tubes and small objects without unnecessarily obscuring the view of the airway. At 25 cm in length, the instrument offers reach suitable for nasotracheal intubation guidance and related procedures in the oropharynx.
