The Laryngeal Mask Company Limited (LMC), manufacturer of the LMA airways, only recommends steam sterilization for their reusable products. The other methods listed above have not been validated by the LMC or by LMA North America, Inc. Cleaning and sterilization information, including a video entitled “Taking Care of Reusable LMA Airways” can be obtained by contacting Professional Services.
