A bougie introducer for introducing a bougie into a patient's trachea is provided. The bougie introducer comprises a tube 102 having: a proximal section 114 configured to be held, in use, by a user; and a distal section 108 comprising a curved portion and being configured to be inserted, in use, at least partially into the patient's oropharynx. The sections of the tube are proportioned so that, in use, the proximal section can be held by the user whilst the curved portion curves around the bend from the patient's oral cavity to the oropharynx. The proximal section has an aperture 112 along its length so that in use the user can manipulate, through the aperture, a bougie (202, fig 2) inserted into the tube and thereby advance the bougie distally through the bougie introducer and into the patient's trachea. |
