Inspiring confidence right from the start

Technology changes; our commitment doesn’t Committed to helping reduce the risk of airway-related complications, Dr. Archie Brain redefined airway management with the launch of the first laryngeal mask airway in 1988. Thirty years later, Teleflex remains true to this commitment with each new addition to the LMA® Airway portfolio. New products, expanded applications, and innovative design features to help clinicians reduce the risk of airway-related complications – it’s what you have come to expect from a leader in airway management who has led the way right from the st

LMA® Airways have been used in 300 million patients since 1988 Every 3 seconds, an LMA® Airway is used somewhere in the world* LMA® is the most extensively researched laryngeal mask brand in the world

Seals, silicone and safety features: The latest innovations in LMA Airway design ® It starts with a high-quality seal It’s one of the most critical aspects of laryngeal mask performance – a reliable oropharyngeal seal to help protect a patient’s airway during general anesthesia. That’s why the new products in the LMA® Airway portfolio from Teleflex incorporate the latest innovations in cuff design features designed to help you establish, verify, and – maintain a seal you can count on. Silicone: A material that gently conforms to the anatomy The original laryngeal mask airways were made of...

Cuff Pilot™ Technology: Because intracuff pressure counts An optimal intracuff pressure of 40-60 cm H20 is important to achieve a reliable oropharyngeal seal with a laryngeal mask. Over-inflation of a cuff can have a negative impact on oropharyngeal seal pressures and may put patients at risk of a wide range of airway morbidities.7-10 Studies have shown laryngeal mask intracuff pressures exceed 60 cm H20 in a vast majority of patients.11-15 Cuff Pilot™ Technology was developed to support clinicians in avoiding the known risks of cuff hyperinflation, which include sore throat, dysphagia, an...

Proactive airway management for endoscopy procedures Hypoxemia due to respiratory depression or airway obstruction is a known risk associated with endoscopic procedures, with studies showing that hypoxemia can occur in 11–50% of cases.16-18 Currently, many endoscopy procedures are undertaken without an airway management device in place; therefore, when hypoxemia occurs, failure to rescue the airway can lead to potential complications and undesirable outcomes.19 The LMA® Gastro™ Airway with Cuff Pilot™ Technology from Teleflex is the first laryngeal mask specifically designed to enable...

LMA Unique (Silicone Cuff) Airway ® A first-generation airway with the added benefits of integrated cuff pressure monitoring The LMA® Unique™ (Silicone Cuff) Airway with Cuff Pilot™ Technology from Teleflex combines all the features of the LMA® Unique™ Airway with the added benefits of integrated cuff pressure monitoring and a silicone cuff.1,2,14 Cuff Pilot™ Technology was developed to support clinicians in avoiding the known risks of cuff hyperinflation, which include sore throat, dysphagia, an increased risk of aspiration due to leakage around the cuff, and hypoglossal, lingual or...

Versatile airway for routine use, with intubation capabilities for difficult airway situations The LMA Unique EVO Airway with Cuff Pilot Technology from Teleflex is designed to provide the versatility needed to adapt to changing clinical situations. As a first-generation laryngeal mask, the LMA® Unique™ EVO Airway is suitable for routine use, while providing fiberscope-assisted intubation capabilities to give clinicians additional flexibility to manage the airway during unforeseen difficult airway situations. A fixed-curve airway tube facilitates rapid insertion, while the silicone cuff is...

Expanding applications with functional separation of the respiratory and GI tracts The LMA® Protector™ Airway with Cuff Pilot™ Technology from Teleflex is the most advanced laryngeal mask in the LMA® Airway portfolio. It features an elongated silicone cuff designed to form an optimal dual seal to functionally separate the respiratory tract from the gastrointestinal tract. The LMA® Protector™ Airway is the first single-use, second-generation laryngeal mask to feature a dual gastric drainage channel and pharyngeal chamber intended to channel gastric contents away from the airway to help...

Innovation, performance, reliability You’ll find it all right here Thirty years after the introduction of the first laryngeal mask airway, Teleflex continues to lead the way. With millions of uses around the world, supported by thousands of clinical studies, the LMA® Airway portfolio is proven to address a broad range of challenges across multiple clinical situations. Moving forward, we will continue our relentless pursuit of identifying unmet clinical needs just as we have right from the start. LMA® Classic™ Airway The first LMA® Airway LMA® Flexible™ Airway The LMA® Airway for head and...
