Hi guys. I went over some data after I got the impression that the use of SGA is very common in the states. Can the supporters of the SGA bring here some data contradicting what I posted? Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

The loop can open and close by control of the triger. One of the safety mechanisim is release of the loop when tension is increased beyond certain level. Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

Regarding the adaptation to existing products… One of the options considered - and this is also a reply to Grimes post at the head of the thread - to use a mounting mechanism requiring only to create slots on a blade (enabling a company to have a monoply on the product) alternatively a model...

Regarding the engineering - I am adding a link to my previous invention To manufacture these devices from scratch to a device that can be inserted into humans - the cost was about $120K Regarding adaptation in the blades - I'll answer in the following post.

I agree, BassoonEMT, and therefore I am refining my previous post - I believe that the loop mechanism I propose will be helpful enough for most difficult airway that the need for SGA will drop dramatically, but SGA will remain an important backup device.

When an anesthesiologist decides to use SGA - he usually thinks about the extubation and not of how difficult it will be to insert. - and in this case my device certainly doesn't replace SGA. When an EMT inserts SGA - it is only because he wants to secure the airway as quickly as possible - in...

I agree with you, BassiinEMT that the device must be cost effective The cost of producing SGA balloon is more expensive than a plastic lever and plastic tubing so I believe it will be more cost efficient.

Thank you E tank. I agree with VentMonkey that it's an excellent post; but I disagree with the notion that we should close our eyes in the face of reality. Learning curve, till a practitioner reaches proficiency, will always be for any medical task even with excellent training. I do believe that...

Isn't there something weird in the following data: CL grade I view 83%, 1st pass success only 73.3% (20% of the cases it took more than 2 minutes).

SGA certainly has its problems and hasn't replaced endotracheal intubation in the OR (and that's in ideal setting for SGA - fasting patient, not requiring chest compression) - bellow a survey published 2010 (more than 2 decades after LMA has been introduced).

Thanks again NomadicMedic, I appreciate the complement. I have to understand a crucial point you brought up "a problem that doesn't really exist". What do you mean by that?

Thank you NomadicMedic. I recieved this reply from about 10% of the paramedics I contacted. They especially mentioned the King LT-D. I couldn't figure out why didn't the rest of the paramedics offer this solution as the ultimate device. Does it have any drawbacks?

Thank you E tank, this is an issue that I really need this forum to help me with - I am posting again the image of my prototype demonstrating Cormack 3 position - I would be grateful for your feedback and feedback from others - what would you prefer in this situation (emergency scenario)? A tube...
