PRODUCT INFORMATION

Lightning X Products · Airway Adjunct Kit

Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) Kit — 6 Sizes, 22–32 Fr

The full adult NPA sizing range in one resealable pouch: Six sterile, individually wrapped soft-PVC airways from 22 Fr to 32 Fr, with a lubricant packet and an antiseptic wipe for each and a pair of nitrile gloves. Latex-free throughout, so opening one size leaves the rest of the kit sealed.

Single-size carry is the common shortcut and the common failure — an airway sized to the pouch instead of the patient does not do the job.

What's Included

Single configuration. One resealable Med Pod bag with the full adult sizing range and the consumables needed to place one cleanly. Tap to see what ships.

Clinical evaluation	evidence-based publishes no brand recommendation for nasopharyngeal airways. The nasopharyngeal airway appears in the TCCC Guidelines as an airway adjunct for unconscious or semi-conscious casualties; that is a device-class statement and is not a recommendation attaching to this kit.

Sizing method: Measure from the tip of the nose to the tragus of the ear, soft tissue to soft tissue. Sizing, contraindication screening and placement are trained clinical skills.

▾Who Carries It

EMS, fire and tactical medics who want the full adult range rather than a single size in the pouch · Training programs and skills labs needing sized inventory · Aid bags, vehicle kits and clinic carts where the responder cannot predict the patient in front of them — adolescent, average adult female and large adult male anatomy spans this entire range.

The nasopharyngeal route is generally better tolerated than an oropharyngeal airway in a patient with an intact gag reflex. Caution applies where midface or basilar skull fracture is suspected, and an oropharyngeal airway is the alternative when the nasal route is contraindicated and the patient has no gag reflex. Placement follows local protocol and scope of practice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What sizes are included in the MED-TAC NPA Kit?

The MED-TAC Nasopharyngeal Airway Kit (SKU: LX-NPA6) includes six individually sterile-wrapped NPAs in sizes 22 Fr, 24 Fr, 26 Fr, 28 Fr, 30 Fr, and 32 Fr. Each NPA comes with a separate lubricating jelly packet. The kit covers the full range of average adult patient sizes — from smaller females (22–24 Fr) to average adult males (28 Fr, the CoTCCC-recommended size) to larger adults (30–32 Fr).

Why would I need multiple NPA sizes instead of just a 28 Fr?

While the 28 Fr is the CoTCCC-recommended default for average adult males, patient anatomy varies significantly. Smaller females and smaller-framed adults may require a 24–26 Fr for optimal airway fit. Larger adult males may benefit from a 30–32 Fr. In a clinical or EMS setting where providers treat a wide range of patients, having a size assortment ensures the correct NPA is always available. The nares-to-tragus measurement method can guide size selection in the field.

Are the NPAs in this kit sterile?

Yes. Each NPA in the kit is individually sterile-wrapped and single-use. This ensures that each device is sterile at the time of insertion and that unused sizes remain sterile for future use. The individual packaging also allows the kit to be distributed across multiple trauma bags if needed, with each NPA remaining usable independently.

Can this kit be used for pediatric patients?

The NPA Kit covers sizes 22–32 Fr, which is primarily intended for adult patients. A 22 Fr NPA may be appropriate for older adolescents or very small adults, but dedicated pediatric NPA sizing generally starts at 12–18 Fr. For primarily pediatric or mixed populations, consult size charts specific to pediatric weight and age. For adult-focused EMS, military, and first responder applications, this kit provides comprehensive coverage.

Is the MED-TAC NPA Kit good for stocking a BLS airway bag?

Yes — this kit is an ideal core component for a BLS airway bag. Combined with a Berman OPA kit (oropharyngeal airways for unconscious patients without gag reflex) and a bag valve mask, the NPA Kit provides the nasopharyngeal airway coverage needed for both conscious (with gag reflex) and unconscious patients. The six-size assortment eliminates the need to separately stock and rotate six individual SKUs.
