The tool comprises a relatively stiff curved, malleable or hinged shaft 2 whose ends are adapted to engage reversibly with the tube of the laryngeal mask (LMA). At one end the tool has a yoke 3 which engages the recess between the mask and tube of the airway. The other end of the tool is provided with a slot 8 which causes the tube to form an S shape. The distance between the two ends being such that when the LMA is loaded onto the tool, the tension along the tube keeps it in a horizontal plane. The tool may comprise slots 11 with rounded tops 12. |
