A device (10, 110, 410) for the airways, for animal or human use, said device comprising a tube (11, 111, 411) for the airways having a distal end (13, 113) and an end (12, 112) proximal, where the distal end of the airway tube is surrounded by a laryngeal handle (14, 114, 414), and where the face (31A, 131A, 41, 431A) of the handle (14 , 114, 414) laryngeal is shaped to form an anatomical fit on the laryngeal inlet of an animal or human patient, and to form a seal with the patient's laryngeal inlet, where the face (31 A, 131 A, 41, 431 A) of the handle comprises an opening (17, 117) and wherein the face (31A, 131A, 41, 431A) of the handle is substantially elliptical, but the shape of the opening (17, 117) on the face of the handle It is not elliptical and the width of the opening at the proximal end of the handle face is narrower than the width of the opening (17, 117) at the end (13, 113) distal tube (11, 111, 411) for the airways, where the face of the laryngeal handle incorporates a support (16, 116) of the epiglottis, being so large, shaped and positioned as to prevent the patient's epiglottis obstructs the opening (17, 117) at the distal end (13, 113) of the tube (11, 111, 411) for the airways in use, by retaining the considerably wide epiglottis of the opening (17 , 117) at the end of the tube (11, 111, 411) for the airways and where the tube (11, 111) for the airways, has a height H and a width W and where the support / rest ( 16, 116) of the epiglottis, comprises a region of the handle or tube of the airways that is above or exceeds the general height H of the profile of the tube for the airways and characterized in that the face (31A, 131A, 41 , 431A) of the laryngeal handle (14, 114, 414) has a generally elongated shape substantially elliptical and the ratio A / B of the length of the main axis A of the ellipse with the length of the minor axis B of the ellipse, is greater than 2.3 ± 10%.Un dispositivo (10, 110, 410) para las vías respiratorias, para uso
