The Portex ‘Soft Seal’ single use laryngeal mask – a preliminary study in pediatric anesthesia

Abstract

The Portex 'Soft Seal' LM performs satisfactorily in elective pediatric anesthesia.

A prospective randomized trial comparing supraglottic airways for flexible bronchoscopy in children

“…Our clinical experience indicated that these single‐use SGAs did function adequately as ventilation devices for routine pediatric anesthesia. Indeed, this has been confirmed for the Ambu ® Aura Once™ (13), Portex ® Soft Seal ® (14), and LMA Unique™ (15). We accept that there are other products available, both with and without safety data, which we did not include in our trial, and we cannot comment about the efficacy of these devices for flexible bronchoscopy.…”
