About Endotracheal Tubes
Description
A tracheal tube is a catheter that is inserted into the trachea for the primary purpose of establishing and maintaining a patent airway and to ensure the adequate exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Features:
- Thermo sensitive tube softens at body temperature to conform to the anatomy of the respiratory tract.
- Kink resistant inflation tube ensures patient safety during cuff inflation and deflation.
- Murphy eye has a polished smoothness ensuring atraumatic intubation and extubation.
- Soft, high volume, low pressure cuff provides an air tight fit between tube and trachea. Radio opaque line.
- Standard 15mm connector.
- Conforms to F-29 standards.
- Sterile individually packed in peelable blister pack.
Precision Design for Safe Airway ManagementOur endotracheal tubes feature a soft rounded bevel tip to minimize trauma during intubation, with clear depth markings ensuring accurate tube placement. The presence of a blue radiopaque line allows clinicians to visually confirm positioning via X-ray, essential for patient safety in various medical scenarios.
Reliable Quality Standards and CertificationEach tube is manufactured in India using non-toxic medical-grade PVC, adhering to CE and ISO 5361 certifications. Ethylene oxide sterilization guarantees sterility, and the waterproof design supports reliable airway control during anesthesia, emergency interventions, and routine resuscitation procedures.
Convenient Packaging and Versatile SizingIndividually blister-packed for infection control, our tubes are available in both adult and pediatric lengths (23cm and 1218cm respectively), with internal diameters ranging from 2.0mm to 10.0mm. The tubes are lightweight for improved handling and come in straight, Murphy Eye, and Magill styles, suitable for a wide range of patients.
FAQs of Endotracheal Tubes:
Q: How does the blue radiopaque line benefit clinical procedures with this endotracheal tube?
A: The blue radiopaque line allows for easy visualization of the tubes placement via X-ray imaging, assisting healthcare professionals in confirming accurate positioning during intubation, surgery, or emergency airway management.
Q: What steps should be followed for proper usage and placement of these endotracheal tubes?
A: After sterilization confirmation, select the appropriate tube size based on patient age and airway requirements. Using the soft rounded bevel tip, gently insert the tube, referencing the clear graduation markings to assess depth. Confirm correct placement with X-ray and secure connection using the standard 15mm connector.
Q: When should cuffed versus uncuffed variants be used?
A: Cuffed tubes are typically used for adults and certain pediatric cases requiring airway sealing, especially during anesthesia or positive pressure ventilation. Uncuffed variants are often preferred for neonates and younger pediatric patients to reduce airway pressure and risk of injury.
Q: Where can these endotracheal tubes be stored to maintain sterility and shelf life?
A: Store each individually blister-packed tube in a dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and contaminants to ensure the ethylene oxide sterilization remains intact. Proper storage extends shelf life up to 5 years.
Q: What is the main process for ensuring safety and sterility in each tube?
A: The manufacturing process involves using non-toxic medical-grade PVC, followed by ethylene oxide sterilization. Each tube is individually packed in a waterproof blister pack, with clear labeling to indicate latex-free content and single-use disposal requirements.
Q: Who can safely use these endotracheal tubes, and are different sizes available?
A: These tubes are suitable for all age groups, including both adults and pediatric patients. Multiple sizes are available, ranging from 2.0mm to 10.0mm internal diameter, with standard lengths tailored for adult and pediatric anatomies.
