Nasopharyngeal Airway – Size 6

Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) Size 6 is a soft, flexible airway adjunct designed to maintain a patent upper airway by preventing tongue obstruction. Inserted through the nasal passage, it is ideal for patients with reduced consciousness, trismus, or when oral airways are not tolerated.

Commonly used in anesthesia, emergency care, resuscitation, and critical care settings, Size 6 NPAs are typically suitable for adult patients, depending on anatomical requirements.
