3mm-9mm Medical PVC Reinforced Cuffed Endotracheal Tube With A Spiral Wire

3mm-9mm Medical PVC Reinforced Cuffed Endotracheal Tube With a Spiral Wire

Product description:

Enhanced suctionable endotracheal tube

Effective in reducing the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. The tracheal tube is made of high quality PVC material, the main tube is translucent, soft, highly flexible, resistant to folding and clearly printed. Soft and varied air bag. Murphy eyelets are smooth.

1. Type: Endotracheal Tube
- An endotracheal tube is a flexible tube inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe). It is used to maintain an open airway, assist with mechanical ventilation, and administer anesthesia.

2. Cuffed:
- The endotracheal tube is cuffed, meaning it has an inflatable cuff near the distal end. The cuff is inflated after placement to create a seal in the trachea, preventing air leakage and reducing the risk of aspiration.

3. Reinforced:
- The tube is reinforced, which means it has an additional layer of material (commonly wire-reinforced) to provide added structural support and prevent kinking or collapse.

4. Disposable:
- The tube is intended for single-use only. Disposable endotracheal tubes are discarded after each use to prevent the risk of infection and ensure hygiene.

5. Suction Tube:
- The endotracheal tube is equipped with a suction tube. This additional tube allows for the removal of secretions or fluids from the patient's airway, enhancing airway management during the procedure.

Endotracheal tubes with suction capabilities are commonly used in surgeries and critical care settings. The suction tube helps maintain a clear airway by removing secretions that may interfere with breathing.

Features:

• The catheter is more flexible and bend resistant, not easy to bend.
• The inner wall of the catheter is treated with a super smooth coating, which allows the plastic guidewire or suction tube to pass through the inner wall of the catheter more smoothly and without obstruction.
• A suction hole above the subsonic balloon connects the suction chamber in the wall of the catheter and allows suction of secretions above the balloon to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia.

FAQ:

1.What is a reinforced endotracheal tube?
Reinforced endotracheal tubes are designed to resist kinking or compression. These tubes are frequently used during facial surgeries and neurosurgeries, and in patients in a non-supine position during surgery . However, they carry a potential risk of being near-fatally obstructed under external forces .

2.What are the 2 types of endotracheal tube?
There are generally speaking two types of endotracheal tube cuffs in use, high volume- low pressure cuffs and low volume- high pressure cuffs.

3.What is an armored endotracheal tube?
Armored endotracheal tube has reinforced metal coils which make it less likely to get obstructed. Therefore, it is preferred for head and neck surgeries. Airway obstruction due to occlusion of armored ETT lumen after being bitten by patient is well known.

4.How long can an endotracheal tube stay in?
Most people stay intubated for a few hours, days, or weeks. The endotracheal tube is removed once breathing improves. People on life support might need to stay on a mechanical ventilator for months or even years.
