Nasopharyngeal Airway (Nasal Airway)

Nasopharyngeal Airway (Nasal Airway)

The Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) is a flexible medical device designed to secure and maintain a patient’s airway during anesthesia, resuscitation, or emergency care. Made from soft, biocompatible material, it is gently inserted through the nasal passage to bypass obstructions and allow adequate airflow. It is an alternate device when oro-pharyngeal airway is occluded. 
The atraumatic soft rounded tip and beveled design minimize trauma during insertion, while the flared end prevents the device from slipping too deep. The nasal tube conforms to the nasopharyngeal anatomy and the tube is marked with internal diameter for easy size identification.
Widely used in hospitals, ICUs, and pre-hospital emergency settings, the NPA is an essential tool for airway management in both adult and pediatric patients.
