Nasopharyngeal airways are flexible tubes inserted through the nose to keep the airway open during procedures or emergencies, preventing obstruction and ensuring breathing. They are commonly used in clinical settings like anesthesia, critical care, or patient transport where airway support is needed without requiring invasive intubation.
These devices are typically single-use, disposable items regulated under medical device classifications depending on jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile and come in various sizes to fit different patient anatomies, with some featuring connectors for supplemental oxygen delivery.
