Bougie Tube (Endotracheal Introducer / Gum Elastic Bougie)

A Bougie Tube, also known as an Endotracheal Introducer or Gum Elastic Bougie, is a flexible rod-like device used to guide or facilitate the insertion of an endotracheal tube (ETT) during difficult intubations. It helps clinicians secure the airway when visualization of the vocal cords is limited.
