TechnicalRegister
An airway device that sits above the vocal cords and forms a seal around the laryngeal inlet without entering the trachea.
For a short day-case procedure a supraglottic airway is usually preferable to a tracheal tube.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
