Description

The ET Tube Preformed Cuffed Oral is a specialized medical device designed for effective airway management during oral intubation. Its unique preformed curvature is particularly beneficial in surgical settings, such as oral and maxillofacial surgeries, as it directs the tube away from the operative field, enhancing surgical access and reducing interference.

Key Features

• High-Quality Materials: Constructed from non-toxic, non-irritant medical-grade PVC or high-quality liquid silicone, this tube is both latex-free and pyrogen-free, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of patients.

• Inflatable Cuff: The high-volume, low-pressure cuff at the distal end provides a secure seal against the tracheal wall, minimizing the risk of aspiration and facilitating effective positive pressure ventilation. The cuff is easily managed via a pilot balloon and one-way valve.

• Universal Connector: Equipped with a standard 15 mm connector at the proximal end, it seamlessly attaches to ventilator tubing or manual resuscitation bags.

Design and Safety

• Smooth Tip and Murphy Eye: The tube features a smooth, beveled tip for atraumatic insertion and extubation, along with a Murphy eye to prevent complete airway obstruction.

• Radiopaque Line: A fully embedded radiopaque strip allows for clear X-ray visualization, ensuring accurate placement.

• Graduation Marks: Depth markings in 2 cm increments provide precise measurement for accurate positioning.

Sterility and Packaging

Each tube is sterile, single-use, and individually packaged, available in various sizes with internal diameters ranging from 3.0 mm to 9.5 mm, catering to both pediatric and adult patients. Recommended cuff pressure is maintained at 20 cm H2O or less.

Intended Use

This endotracheal tube is ideal for securing a definitive airway in patients requiring protection, mechanical ventilation, or undergoing surgical procedures. It is commonly used in emergency settings, operating rooms, and intensive care units.

Certifications

The product meets high standards with certifications such as CE, ISO13485, FDA, and CFDA, varying by manufacturer. Proper handling includes testing the cuff for leaks before use, securing the tube post-placement, and ensuring it is disposed of after single use to maintain sterility and prevent complications.
