Laryngeal mask with retractable rigid tab and means for ventilation and intubation

摘要

The invention relates to a laryngeal mask comprising a first element which is a substantially J-shaped hollow rigid tube that has a long opening along the entire length thereof, and a second element comprising a flexible tube which is also substantially J-shaped, to be received in the long opening of the first element in a separable manner. This configuration of the laryngeal mask allows the doctor to switch between its rigid or flexible properties, as desired, without having to interrupt the oxygen supply to the patient at any time.
