Product Overview

The MED-TAC NPA Kit provides a comprehensive, ready-to-use set of six nasopharyngeal airways covering the most common adult airway sizes — 22 through 32 French. Each NPA is individually sterile-wrapped and paired with its own lubricating jelly packet, so the kit can be distributed across multiple trauma bags or kept as a single multi-size airway assortment for clinical or field use.

Having a size assortment is particularly important in clinical settings, EMS units, and fire department first responder bags where providers treat patients of widely varying sizes. The 28 Fr remains the CoTCCC-recommended standard for average adult males, but the 22–26 Fr range addresses smaller females, older adolescents, and smaller adults. The 30–32 Fr sizes accommodate larger adult males where a 28 Fr may not adequately maintain patency.

Proper NPA sizing improves both patient comfort and airway efficacy. An undersized NPA may not adequately bypass obstruction; an oversized NPA increases epistaxis risk and may cause discomfort in semi-conscious patients. By providing six sizes in a single kit, this product ensures the right size is always available without maintaining excessive individual inventory across multiple sizes.

For BLS Airway Bags: This kit is an ideal foundation for any BLS airway assortment bag. Pair with the Berman OPA Kit (sizes 80–100 mm) to provide both nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal airway coverage for all patient consciousness levels.

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.
