ABSTRACT:
An airway device is disclosed. The airway device includes a tubular structure including a first end region having a first opening and a second end region having a second opening. A mask is in the tubular structure and the mask defines the first opening. An inflatable balloon is proximate to the first end region of the tubular structure, and a pilot tube can be in communication with the inflatable balloon.
