Abstract:
A laryngeal mask airway (LMA) device is provided, which includes an inflatable annular cuff, a backplate attached to the cuff, and an airway tube. The cuff, when disposed in free space, is characterized by a pressure-volume curve that represents the pressure in the cuff when inflated to different volumes of the cuff that include a low-pressure volume corresponding to a low pressure of 10 cm H2O. The pressure-volume curve includes (a) a local maximum pressure at a medium volume of the cuff between 1.25 and 2.4 times the low-pressure volume, wherein the local maximum pressure is between 15 and 120 cm H2O, and (b) respective high-volume medium pressures corresponding to all high volumes of the cuff that are between 2.5 and 3 times the low-pressure volume. Each of the high-volume medium pressures is between 15 cm H2O and 99% of the local maximum pressure. Other embodiments are also described.

Claim (Index 25):
The method according to  claim 19 ,\n wherein the cuff is configured such that when disposed in free space and inflated to one of the high volumes of the cuff corresponding to a first pressure in the cuff, further inflation of the cuff with an incremental quantity of air results in a second pressure in the cuff that is less than the first pressure, and wherein the incremental quantity of air has a volume, when the air is at ambient pressure, equal to 10% of the one of the high volumes of the cuff.
