Video laryngeal mask airway with a camera in the lumen, a live view on the monitor and a displacement alarm, a non-inflatable cuff and sizes from 1.0 to 5.0.

What is it used for?

  • Airway management with a laryngeal mask in general anesthesia, with the mask position watched on the monitor.
  • A case where the mask position has to be checked again during surgery.
  • Passing a gastric tube through the mask, or exchanging to an endotracheal tube through it.
  • Recording the airway view as photo or video for case review and teaching.

What makes it different?

  • Camera in the lumen the camera sits inside the mask lumen and sends its image to the monitor of the TR-V-01 video device.
  • Displacement alarm the mask position is watched in real time, and an automatic alarm is given when the mask moves.
  • Cuff that follows ventilation the cuff is not inflated, and its pressure changes with the ventilation pressure.
  • Multi-lumen body the structure allows a gastric tube to be inserted and an endotracheal tube exchange through the mask.
  • Closed image channel the manufacturer states the image channel has a sealed design.

Frequently asked questions

What is a video laryngeal mask airway (video LMA)?

A video laryngeal mask airway is a laryngeal mask with a camera built into its lumen. The camera connects to a monitor, so the anesthesia team sees the mask position in real time, and an automatic alarm is given if the mask moves. Its cuff is not inflated. A classic laryngeal mask (LMA) has no camera.

How is it different from the visual laryngeal mask and the Blockbuster?

In the video laryngeal mask the camera sits inside the lumen, the cuff is not inflated and a displacement alarm is given; sizes 1.0 to 5.0. In the visual laryngeal mask the glottis is seen from the side of the ventilation channel, the viewing channel has a sealed cap, with double drainage; sizes are 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0. The Blockbuster is an intubating laryngeal mask without a camera. A video laryngoscope is a separate device.

What sizes does the video laryngeal mask come in, and how is the size chosen?

Sizes are 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0. A laryngeal mask size is usually chosen by the patient's weight. This page lists no size to weight table; the catalogue does not give this. The final choice belongs to the physician treating the patient.

How is the mask prepared, and what does the team see on the monitor?

The mask camera connects to the TR-V-01 video device, and the image appears on its monitor. The cuff is not inflated, so there is no cuff inflation step. After insertion the mask position is watched on the monitor, and the device gives an automatic alarm if the mask moves. The view can be saved as photo or video. The catalogue does not give the detailed preparation steps.

Is the video laryngeal mask single use, and how is the camera cleaned?

The manufacturer states that the image channel has a sealed design. This page does not say whether the mask and its camera are single use, and it does not give a cleaning method for the video device; the catalogue does not give this. The TR-V-01 video device has its own code, separate from the mask.

Can a gastric tube or an endotracheal tube pass through the video laryngeal mask?

Yes. The multi-lumen structure allows a gastric tube to be inserted and an endotracheal tube exchange through the mask. The tube diameters that pass each size are not given in the catalogue. Intubation through the mask, and its method, is the physician's decision. For a mask built for intubation, see the Blockbuster intubating laryngeal mask.

Is there published research on video laryngeal masks?

This page lists no published study done with this product. For this class of device there are randomised studies with another manufacturer's video laryngeal mask; for example Özden et al., BMC Anesthesiology, 2025 (168 patients, Türkiye). In that study the primary outcome, oropharyngeal leak pressure, did not differ significantly from the compared mask. These studies were not done with the product on this page. The choice is the physician's.
