CE ISO Medical Sterile Silicone Laryngeal Mask Airway Single Use Health Care Devices
What is a laryngeal mask airway?
Laryngeal mask airway ventilation is a method for providing rescue ventilation to unconscious patients or patients without a gag reflex that is technically easier than use of most other effective ventilatory methods. It is used by anesthesiologists in many settings that previously required endotracheal intubation.
Features:
Made of medical silicone, have good biocompatibility.
Exclusive soft seal cuff can be inserted comfortable, minimizing potential trauma and increasing sealing.
Reusable must be cleaning and disinfection or sterilization before use, use only 40 times.
Different sizes are suitable for neonate, infant, child and adult.
A silicone laryngeal mask airway (SLMA) is a medical device used to maintain an open airway and assist with ventilation. It is a flexible mask made of medical-grade silicone.
Purpose:
The silicone laryngeal mask airway is designed to establish and maintain a patent airway during anesthesia or in critically ill patients. It serves as an alternative to endotracheal intubation and is used for short-term airway management, such as induction of anesthesia, intraoperative ventilation, or respiratory support in patients with respiratory failure.
Design:
The SLMA consists of a mask portion that covers the laryngeal inlet and an inflatable cuff that seals around the laryngeal inlet to prevent air leakage. It has a tube attached to the mask, which allows for ventilation and connection to a breathing circuit or anesthesia machine.
Insertion and Use:
Insertion of the silicone laryngeal mask airway is typically performed by healthcare professionals. It is inserted into the patient's mouth and positioned within the pharynx, ensuring proper alignment with the laryngeal inlet. The cuff is then inflated to create a seal and maintain airway patency.
Sizing:
Silicone laryngeal mask airways come in various sizes to accommodate different patient populations, from pediatric to adult. The appropriate size is selected based on the patient's weight and body size.
Monitoring and Care:
During the use of the silicone laryngeal mask airway, continuous monitoring of the patient's vital signs, including oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and heart rate, is essential. Regular assessment of the cuff inflation and airway patency is also important.
Contraindications and Precautions:
There are certain contraindications and precautions to consider when using silicone laryngeal mask airways. These may include known or anticipated difficult airway, upper airway obstruction, or anatomical abnormalities that prevent proper placement of the device. Careful evaluation of the patient's suitability for SLMA use should be conducted before insertion.
It is important to note that the insertion and management of silicone laryngeal mask airways should be performed by trained healthcare professionals who are familiar with the technique, indications, and potential complications associated with its use.
The advantages of laryngeal mask airway
The laryngeal mask airway is a commonly used supraglottic airway. The laryngeal mask airway is an orally introduced supraglottic airway tube with a cuffed mask at one end that forms a low-pressure seal around the laryngeal inlet.Laryngeal mask airway ventilation has several advantages over other methods.
Indications for Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion
Apnea, severe respiratory failure, or impending respiratory arrest in which endotracheal intubation cannot be accomplished.
Certain elective anesthesia cases.
Laryngeal Mask Airways are useful in situations where bag-valve-mask ventilation is difficult:
Patients with severe facial deformity (traumatic or natural), thick beard, or other factors that interfere with the face mask seal.
