Abstract published with permission. The laryngeal mask airway was first developed in the 1980s by Dr Archie Brain. The market for supraglottic airways has rapidly expanded since the 1980s, incorporating both reusable and single patient use devices, varying in design, application, cost and durability. Here, the author considers theoretical and anecdotal evidence when comparing single patient use and reusable supraglottic airways. Particular attention has been drawn to the I-Gel, pro-seal laryngeal mask airway and conventional laryngeal mask airway.ae974a485f413a2113503eed53cd6c53
