The LMA family of supraglottic airways includes both single-use and reusable products intended for a variety of clinical situations. For example, the LMA Proseal works well with positive pressure ventilation, allows for the insertion of a gastric tube to decompress the stomach, and contains an integral bite block; the LMA Fastrach is designed as a conduit for tracheal intubation; and the LMA Flexible, intended for intraoral and nasopharyngeal operations, has a wire-reinforced, flexible shaft that allows it to be easily positioned away from the surgical field.
