Nasopharyngeal Airway Sz 9

The Nasopharyngeal Airway Size 9.0 mm (NPA) is a soft, flexible airway adjunct designed to maintain a patent upper airway by preventing obstruction at the nasopharynx. It is specifically suitable for large adult patients, and is commonly used in emergency care, anesthesia, ICU, theatre, and pre-hospital settings where an oropharyngeal airway may be contraindicated.

Manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade biocompatible PVC, the Size 9 NPA features a smooth, atraumatic surface for comfortable nasal insertion and reduced mucosal trauma. The flared proximal flange prevents over-insertion and enhances patient safety during use.
