A laryngeal mask includes an inflatable ring which has an outer periphery,
an inner periphery with a welded edge projecting inwardly therefrom, and
two opposite first and second wall parts extending respectively from the
welded edge to the outer periphery. A gas supply tube has an open end
which is connected to the inflatable ring along the welded edge, and a
peripheral connection part hermetically sealed to the welded edge. A
forward guide tab projects forwardly from the peripheral connection part
and extends over a portion of the first wall part. Preferably, the
forward guide tab is formed integrally with the peripheral connection
part and is welded to the portion of the first wall part.
