LMA® Flexible™ Airway

LMA Flexible™: truly flexible

  • Designed for shared airways – airway tube can be moved out of the surgical field without displacement of the cuff, or loss of seal for the anaesthetistst
  • Improved recovery profile – children undergoing adenotonsillectomies with LMA Flexible™ spent significantly less time in the operating room after surgery, had a lower incidence of airway irritation and experienced lower postoperative pain in the first 4 hours vs an ETT17
  • Patient protection – LMA Flexible™ acts as a barrier, preventing soiling of the glottis or trachea by blood or secretions from above18

 

More protection than an ETT: Besides being easier on the patient than an ETT, studies have shown that the LMA FlexibleTM also provides better protection from blood andsecretions from above the trachea.18

 

 

The LMA Flexible™ provided an unobstructed airway in all patients. The LMA Flexible™ protects the larynx from contamination during and after the operation until the return of the patient’s own protective reflexes.
