Can a new airway device make surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT02531256
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial evaluates a new laryngeal mask airway device, called the LMA Protector, for managing breathing during surgery. It will involve 40 adults undergoing elective gynecological procedures where an LMA is indicated. Researchers will measure how easily the device can be inserted and how well it seals the airway, aiming to see if it offers advantages over current options.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LMA Protector, a new laryngeal mask airway device used to manage breathing during surgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a more reliable and safer way to manage airways during surgery, reducing complications and improving patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device may not perform better than existing airway devices, and there are inherent risks like sore throat or injury.
