Laryngeal mask: safe breathing during anaesthesia and unconsciousness
The laryngeal mask is a medical device designed to keep the airway clear during anaesthesia or unconsciousness. It is a sterilizable laryngeal mask made of silicone with an anatomically optimized shape for comfortable and safe insertion.
Key features:
Comfort and safety: the ergonomic design of the mask makes it easy to insert and comfortable to wear.
Universal compatibility: Compatible with most ventilators thanks to the 15 mm ISO connector.
Easy insertion: the transparent flexible airway tube and insertion markings facilitate the intervention.
Effective airway protection: Small protrusions minimise the risk of gastric contents entering the lungs.
Outstanding comfort: The smooth cuff design ensures maximum comfort.
Reliability: Reinforced oval tip prevents possible bending during insertion.
Easy control: the thin-walled pilot balloon makes the inflation tube easy to tap.
Traceability: Unique identification markings aid traceability.
Durability: The mask can be autoclaved 40 times.
