Description:
Preformed Oral Endotracheal Tube Cuffed is a method of inserting a
special endotracheal tube into the trachea or bronchus through the
mouth or nasal cavity.
7.5mm Oral Endotracheal Tube Cuffed compositions:
| Size | 7.5mm |
| Radiopaque | Allowing clear identification of the tube on radiographic images |
| Valve | Ensuring continual cuff integrity |
| 15mm connector | Reliable connection to all standard equipment |
| Balloon | Providing even pressure to maintain good sealing,reducing ppressure
on the tissues of trachea |
| Murphy Eye | Reducing the risk of occlusinon and maintaining airflow |
| Wire coil | Increasing flexibility, providing effective resistance to kinking |
- Specially moulded hooded tip to assist intubation and to help to
provide high patient safety and comfort.
- High volume/low pressure cuff helps to ensure an efficient low
pressure cuff seal.
- Murphy eye incorporated as an additional safety feature.
Product Overview:
The oral PVC endotracheal tube is a medical device used to
establish and maintain a clear airway in patients requiring
respiratory support or anesthesia. It is inserted through the oral
cavity and into the trachea, providing a direct pathway for the
delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide.
Features:
Material: The tube is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a flexible
and biocompatible material that is well-tolerated by the body.
Cuffed or Uncuffed: Oral PVC endotracheal tubes can be either
cuffed or uncuffed. Cuffed tubes have an inflatable balloon at the
distal end to create a seal against the tracheal wall, preventing
air leakage and aspiration. Uncuffed tubes do not have a cuff and
are typically used for short-term intubation or in patients where
cuff inflation is not necessary or desirable.
Reinforced Tip: The tip of the tube is reinforced to provide
rigidity and facilitate atraumatic insertion into the trachea. The
reinforced tip helps prevent kinking or buckling, ensuring smooth
passage through the airway.
Depth Markings: The tube is marked with depth markings to assist in
determining the appropriate insertion depth and to ensure the tube
is positioned correctly within the trachea.
Radiopaque Marker: The tube features a radiopaque marker along its
length, allowing for accurate positioning and visualization under
fluoroscopy or X-ray. This aids in confirming proper placement of
the tube within the trachea.
Benefits:
Biocompatibility: PVC is a biocompatible material that is
well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of irritation or
allergic reactions.
Flexibility: PVC is a flexible material that conforms to the
anatomy of the airway, minimizing the risk of trauma during
insertion and extubation.
Reinforced Tip: The reinforced tip facilitates atraumatic insertion
and helps prevent kinking or buckling, ensuring smooth passage
through the airway.
Depth Markings and Radiopaque Marker: Depth markings and a
radiopaque marker aid in accurate placement and visualization of
the tube, reducing the risk of complications.
Indications:
- The oral PVC endotracheal tube is indicated for use in various
clinical scenarios, including:
- General anesthesia
- Respiratory failure
- Trauma
- Critical care
- Emergency intubation
Contraindications:
- The oral PVC endotracheal tube may be contraindicated in certain
situations, such as:
- Severe oral or pharyngeal obstruction
- Recent oral or pharyngeal surgery
- Coagulopathy
- Facial trauma
Preformed Oral Endotracheal Tube Cuffed Application Features:
- Preformed tube helps to reduce the risk of kinking.
- Improved access to the operative field, because the connections lie
outside this area.
- Tip-to-Tip X-ray line allows for safe positioning control.
