Nasopharyngeal Airway SZ 5

The Nasopharyngeal Airway Size 5.0 mm (NPA) is a soft, flexible airway management device designed to maintain a clear upper airway by preventing obstruction at the nasopharynx. It is commonly used in pediatric patients and small adults, especially in emergency, anesthesia, ICU, and pre-hospital care where an oropharyngeal airway is not suitable.

Manufactured from medical-grade, biocompatible PVC, the Size 5 NPA features a smooth, atraumatic surface for comfortable insertion and reduced nasal trauma. The flared proximal end prevents over-insertion, ensuring patient safety during use.
