Incorporated in Netherlands Antilles in 1998, LMA designs, develops, markets and distributes medical equipment, principally the LMA™ laryngeal mask airway line of supraglottic airway device products.
Designed by renowned British anesthesiologist Dr. Archie Brain, the LMA™ airway was first introduced to the market in 1988. It was the first effective product to offer significant advantages over traditional methods of airway support during surgical procedures and life-saving interventions.
Today, our LMA™ laryngeal mask product line is the most comprehensive innovative airway management system available, comprising five reusable and three single-use devices in 41 different formats and size combinations. Supported by over 2,800 published references, it is estimated that our devices have been used more than 200 million times worldwide and without a single reported fatality attributed to its use.
Our products are recognized for the proven superior clinical efficacy over other alternative airway management devices and the quality assured by our brand. These competitive strengths, together with solid customer relationships, have positioned us as the leading player in the global arena of advanced anesthesia airway devices.
We sell our products in more than 100 countries via our own sales teams in the United States, Germany and Singapore, and through independent distributors in other markets. This extensive global distribution network provides a platform from which related products can be added and distributed effectively.
Our operations are backed by an experienced R&D team and a scientific advisory board which includes Dr. Archie Brain and several other prominent clinical consultants. As we move forward, we are committed to an ongoing program of new product development and research that aims to extend the boundaries of traditional anesthesia and deliver products that enable clinicians to consistently raise standards of patient care.
We are a global company with an office in Jersey, Channel Islands, product development, regulatory affairs and quality assurance functions in Singapore, and a wholly owned subsidiary responsible for sales in the United States in San Diego, California. We are listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange.
