Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of medical devices used in critical care and surgery, will showcase the LMA Protector™ Airway, our most advanced 2nd generation LMA® Supraglottic Airway Device (SAD), at the World Airway Management Meeting in Dublin, Ireland on November 12 - 14, 2015.

The LMA Protector™ Airway is the world's first single-use laryngeal mask with a dual gastric drainage channel and pharyngeal chamber designed specifically to channel high volume, high pressure gastric contents away from the airway. The 4th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Difficult Airway Society (NAP4) has recommended all hospitals have SADs with gastric access available for both routine and rescue airway management.1

The LMA Protector™ Airway has a 100% silicone cuff and airway tube and is designed to achieve insertion success and a secure fit.

The LMA Protector™ Airway features Cuff Pilot™ Technology. The Cuff Pilot™ Technology is an integrated pressure indicator that constantly monitors intracuff pressure and provides at-a-glance manometry of cuff pressure levels.

The LMA Protector™ Airway allows for fibreoptic guided tracheal intubation, with endotracheal tubes up to 7.5 mm to provide a safe and effective option for airway replacement.
