About SILICON LMA Gastro

Proactive airway management for endoscopy procedures Separate gastric and airway access Hypoxemia due to respiratory depression or airway obstruction is a known risk associated with endoscopic procedures, with studies showing that hypoxemia can occur in 1150% of cases.1-3 The LMA Gastro Airway with Cuff Pilot Technology from Teleflex is the first laryngeal mask specifically designed to enable clinicians to proactively manage their patients airways while facilitating direct endoscopic access via the integrated endoscope channel. With the airway in place, clinicians can monitor end-tidal CO2 for patient safety. Designed to support patient safety The single-use LMA Gastro Airway is designed for patient comfort with a silicone cuff that is soft and flexible, and conforms to the patient anatomy to create an effective oropharyngeal seal.4,5 Silicone cuffs have been shown to reduce risk of sore throat6 and achieve higher seal pressures4 compared with PVC cuffs. Clinician Inspires confidence by supporting end-tidal CO2 monitoring and direct endoscopic access Patient Silicone cuff and integrated cuff pressure monitoring for patient comfort Institution Designed to help reduce airway-related complications during endoscopy procedures Integrated Cuff Pilot Technology Cuff Pilot Technology is an integrated, cuff pressure indicator that constantly monitors cuff pressure, detecting changes at a glance resulting from fluctuations in temperature, nitrous oxide levels, and movements within the airway. Cuff Pilot Technology was developed to support clinicians in avoiding the known risks of cuff hyperinflation, which include sore throat, dysphagia, an increased risk of aspiration due to leakage around the cuff, and hypoglossal, lingual or recurrent laryngeal nerve palsies

Dual-Channel Design for Efficient Gastroenterology Care

The SILICON LMA Gastro integrates both an airway and gastric channel, allowing for simultaneous airway protection and gastric tube insertion. This innovation enhances patient safety by preventing aspiration while facilitating procedures like endoscopy or anaesthesia. Its transparent construction and flexible blue piloted cuff make insertion intuitive and verification of placement simple.

Versatility for All Patient Populations

Available in both adult and pediatric sizes, the SILICON LMA Gastro offers tailored care for diverse patient groups. Its compatibility with standard nasogastric tubes (up to 18 Fr) adds to its clinical flexibility, making it a preferred choice for various hospital and ambulatory settings. Clinically approved with a five-year shelf life, it supports consistent, safe airway management.

Sterile, Portable, and Reliable

Each SILICON LMA Gastro device is provided sterile and ready to use, ensuring immediate applicability. The device is lightweight, portable, and can be either reusable or disposable depending on the selected variant. Carefully engineered from a high-quality medical polymer, it meets the highest standards in both performance and patient safety.
