Nasopharyngeal Airway Sz 3

The Nasopharyngeal Airway Size 3.0 mm (NPA) is a soft, flexible airway management device designed to maintain a clear upper airway in neonates and infants by preventing nasopharyngeal obstruction. It is widely used in pediatric emergency care, neonatal units, anesthesia, and pre-hospital settings where gentle and reliable airway support is required.

Manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade biocompatible PVC, the Size 3 NPA features a smooth, atraumatic surface to minimize nasal trauma and maximize patient comfort. The flared proximal flange prevents over-insertion, ensuring safe and controlled placement.
