The device with the non-inflatable cuff is the i-gel. It’s a supraglottic airway made from a soft gel-like material with an anatomically shaped cuff that seals around the laryngeal inlet without needing to be inflated. This contrasts with other airway devices that use inflatable cuffs to create a seal, such as the laryngeal mask airway and the endotracheal tube. A bag-valve-mask doesn’t use a cuff at all—its seal comes from the face mask pressing against the face. The non-inflatable cuff design of the i-gel aims to provide a quick, comfortable seal with less risk of cuff-related pressure injury.
