mproved recovery profile – children undergoing adenotonsillectomies with LMA Flexible™ spent significantly less time in the operating room after surgery, had a lower incidence of airway irritation and experienced lower postoperative pain in the first 4 hours vs an ETT17

More protection than an ETT: Besides being easier on the patient than an ETT, studies have shown that the LMA FlexibleTM also provides better protection from blood andsecretions from above the trachea.
