Oropharyngeal airways (OPAs) maintain airway patency by holding the tongue away from the posterior pharynx — the most common cause of airway obstruction in unconscious patients — and by providing a structural conduit for ventilation and suctioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Berman design features open lateral channels down each side of the airway (compared to the center-bore Guedel design). This dual-channel configuration ensures unobstructed air passage and easy suction catheter access — even if the airway shifts within the oral cavity or is partially occluded. The reinforced bite block in the flange prevents collapse even if a patient bites down. The smooth, rounded insertion tip minimizes mucosal trauma during placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eColor-coded by size, the Berman OPA kit enables rapid identification and selection during emergency situations without needing to read labels. The size labeling on the flange provides secondary confirmation. The kit format — with all sizes in a single package — is the standard approach for stocking BLS airway bags, as it eliminates the need to maintain and track multiple individual OPA SKUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"highlight-box\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eBLS Airway Strategy:\u003c\/strong\u003e A complete BLS airway toolkit combines OPAs (for unconscious patients) with NPAs (for semi-conscious patients with intact gag reflex) and a bag valve mask for assisted ventilation.
