The invention relates to an airway device for human or animal use and a method for manufacturing the same. The airway device comprises an airway tube having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of which is surrounded by a laryngeal cuff, wherein the cuff is non-inflatable and is pre-formed in a shape such that a face region of the cuff is adapted to fit snugly over the laryngeal inlet of a patient, the front area of the laryngeal cuff is made of soft and deformable materials and is adapted to fit snugly over the laryngeal inlet of the patient which accords with the anatomy structure, the front area of the laryngeal cuff is provided with a convex part which forms a good seal with the pyriform fossae and aryepiglottic folds of the laryngeal inlet of the patient, and wherein the external profile of the tube is substantially uniform between the distal end of the tube where it starts to meet the cuff and the proximal end of the tube, and wherein the face region of the cuff is formed from a material with a Shore hardness on the A scale of between 0 to 30.
