A reusable laryngeal mask airway is a medical device featuring a curved tube and an inflatable cuff designed to maintain an open airway during anesthesia or resuscitation. By sitting above the glottis in the hypopharynx, it creates a seal that allows for the delivery of gases to both spontaneously breathing and ventilated patients.
These devices are constructed from durable materials like silicone or plastic to allow for repeated clinical use after proper sterilization. They often include features such as pilot balloons for pressure monitoring and standard connectors to integrate with breathing circuits or manual resuscitators.
