Background: PLMA has improved features of cuff design and incorporation of gastric drain channel led to better seal achievement around the glottis. I gel single-use, cuff less, utilizes a thermoplastic elastomer to create a more intimate interface for interaction with the supraglottic tissue. Supraglottic airway devices provide good seal during anaesthesia for spontaneously breathing and controlled ventilation with moderate airway pressures. Methodology: Hundred patients from routine elective surgical procedure were randomized to receive mechanical ventilation, through either I gel or PLMA. Insertion characteristics, working performance, ease of gastric tube insertion and hemodynamic characteristics was assessed. Results: The shorter insertion time (Group I was 20.98 ± 2.29 sec and Group P 30.04 ± 2.6 sec; P value
