Explore our export-validated clinical consumables, engineered in cleanrooms for immediate distribution across Spanish public health networks (SNS) and private hospital groups.
In modern emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and critical care units across Spain’s National Health System (Sistema Nacional de Salud - SNS), the Guedel airway—also known as the oropharyngeal airway (OPA)—remains an indispensable first-line medical device. Designed to maintain an unobstructed upper airway during bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation, general anesthesia, and emergency resuscitation, the Guedel airway prevents the posterior displacement of the tongue against the pharyngeal wall (glossoptosis).
As medical device procurement regulations in the European Union become increasingly stringent under EU MDR 2017/745, medical distributors, hospital purchasing syndicates, and OEM contract buyers in Spain require manufacturing partners who offer absolute regulatory compliance, material safety, and custom manufacturing capability. Operating from state-of-the-art ISO Class 7/8 cleanroom facilities in Vatva, Ahmedabad, India, Mediplus (Shree Umiya Surgical Pvt. Ltd., established in 1988) stands as a premier global OEM/ODM contract manufacturer and direct exporter of premium single-use medical devices, specializing in customized Guedel Airways tailored specifically for Spanish regional health authorities (e.g., SERMAS in Madrid, CatSalut in Catalonia, SAS in Andalusia, and SACYL in Castile and León).
We provide full-spectrum contract manufacturing services that empower Spanish medical device brands and hospital tender holders to deliver superior clinical solutions without capital-intensive manufacturing investments.
Advanced co-molding process combining a rigid, reinforced bite block with a semi-rigid, flexible anatomical shaft to eliminate delamination risks during patient teeth clenching.
Every lot is manufactured under strict ISO 13485 QMS protocols, accompanied by complete Technical Files, CE Certificates, and Biocompatibility Dossiers (ISO 10993).
Complete branding integration tailored to your specific corporate identity and regional market requirements across Spain's autonomous communities.
To ensure rapid size identification during high-stress emergency resuscitation (e.g., SAMUR-Protección Civil or SUMMA 112 operations in Spain), our OEM Guedel Airways follow strict international ISO 5364 color-coding standards across all 8 pediatric and adult sizes.

Supplying the Spanish medical market requires a nuanced understanding of regional clinical protocols and institutional procurement structures. OEM Guedel Airways manufactured by Mediplus are designed for seamless integration into diverse healthcare environments across Spain:
Utilized heavily by Spain’s premier emergency response networks including SUMMA 112 (Madrid), SEM (Sistema d'Emergències Mèdiques, Catalonia), and 061 Galicia. Rapid color identification allows paramedics to select appropriate sizes instantly during trauma triage.
Integrated into surgical protocols across major hospital centers such as Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid), Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, and Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío (Seville) during emergence from general anesthesia to maintain airway patency.
Acts as a reliable bite block preventing intubated patients from biting down on endotracheal tubes (ETTs), protecting both the mechanical ventilator circuit and preventing dental damage during patient bucking or seizure episodes.
The Spanish market for single-use medical consumables is undergoing a structural evolution driven by regulatory, environmental, and economic factors. Key trends impacting OEM/ODM suppliers include:
In alignment with European Green Deal directives and REACH regulations, Spanish health authorities are mandating the elimination of plasticized DEHP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) in airway devices. Our OEM Guedel Airways utilize 100% non-phthalate medical-grade PVC or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), eliminating tissue toxicity risks while retaining optimum flexural memory.
Procurement in Spain is highly decentralized across 17 Autonomous Communities. Public tenders heavily weigh supply chain reliability, batch consistency, and price efficiency. Partnering directly with an established Indian OEM manufacturer allows Spanish distributors to bid competitively in regional hospital tenders with superior margin protection.
Given recent global logistics disruptions, Spanish importers prefer suppliers operating near major maritime hubs. Shipping directly from Mundra and Nhava Sheva ports to primary Spanish ports—such as Valencia, Barcelona, Algeciras, and Bilbao—ensures predictable 21-to-28 day transit timelines with standardized container load optimization.
Since 1988, Shree Umiya Surgical Pvt. Ltd. (Mediplus) has built an unshakeable reputation across 70+ countries as a reliable contract manufacturer of single-use medical disposables across 7 clinical divisions. Our competitive advantage relies on vertical manufacturing integration:
From raw material polymer blending and precision high-speed injection molding to cleanroom packaging, every production step is performed under controlled ISO Class 7/8 environments in Vatva, Ahmedabad.
Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO) or Gamma Irradiation adhering strictly to ISO 11135 guidelines. Every export consignment is released only after biological indicator clearance and residual EO limits testing (<4 mg/g).
Our manufacturing facility is powered by on-site rooftop solar panel installations, drastically reducing the carbon footprint per product unit to help Spanish procurement clients achieve ESG target compliance.
