About LMA Pro Seal

LMA ProSeal AirwayLMA ProSeal: The most versatile re-usable airwayPeace of mind
Passive regurgitation can occur unexpectedly intraoperatively. The LMA ProSeal enables the regurgitated fluid to pass up the drainage tube without leaking into the glottis.8
Patient comfort
LMA ProSeal reduces the likelihood of throat irritation and stimulation, and reduces post-operative nausea and vomiting by as much as 40% compared to an ETT.9
Performance
LMA ProSeal achieves a high seal pressure, with a median seal pressure of 32 cm H2O.10
Aspiration
LMA ProSeal has a built-in drain tube that allows expelled gastric content to bypass the pharynx. This specific feature is designed to decrease the risk of aspiration.11,12

Advanced Airway Protection

LMA ProSeal provides superior airway security through its improved seal and soft cuff design. Its integrated bite block and gastric access port reduce aspiration risk, facilitating safe ventilation for a wide range of patients. The device's medical-grade silicone construction ensures comfort and durability during procedures.

Versatile Usage for All Ages

This device is suitable for both adults and children, with seven available sizes (1 to 5) to ensure an optimal fit. Its color-coded pilot balloon simplifies size identification, making it valuable in diverse clinical environments, from routine operating rooms to emergency scenarios.

Reusable and Efficient

Depending on the model, the LMA ProSeal can be either single-use or reusable. Reusable versions withstand multiple autoclave sterilizations, supporting both economical and environmentally friendly practices. With a five-year shelf life and robust design, it remains reliable across various clinical settings.

FAQ's of LMA Pro Seal:

Q: How is the LMA ProSeal used during airway management procedures?

A: The LMA ProSeal is inserted into the patient's airway to maintain ventilation during anesthesia or emergencies. The cuff is inflated via the air-filled pilot balloon, providing a secure seal, while the integrated gastric drain tube enables removal of gastric contents to reduce aspiration risk.

Q: What sizes of the LMA ProSeal are available and how do I choose the correct one?

A: The LMA ProSeal is available in seven sizes: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5. Selection depends on the patient's age and weight, making it suitable for both pediatric and adult applications. Color-coded pilot balloons help users quickly identify the correct size.

Q: When should I use the gastric drain tube feature?

A: The gastric drain tube should be used whenever there is a risk of regurgitation or gastric insufflation. It enables drainage of gastric contents during the procedure, helping to minimize aspiration and improving patient safety.

Q: Where should the LMA ProSeal be stored when not in use?

A: Store the device in a dry, cool area, away from direct sunlight, to preserve integrity and ensure its five-year shelf life. Proper storage helps maintain device performance and hygiene.

Q: What is the process for sterilizing the LMA ProSeal reusable model?

A: After use, the reusable LMA ProSeal should be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized using an autoclave. Follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning, disassembly, and sterilization to ensure the device is safe for subsequent uses.

Q: What are the main benefits of using the LMA ProSeal compared to standard LMAs?

A: LMA ProSeal offers a higher seal pressure for improved airway protection, an integrated gastric access port to prevent aspiration, and a soft, medical-grade silicone cuff for patient comfort. This combination delivers both safety and enhanced performance in airway management.
