Description:
HENAN AILE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD is a company for operating medical disposables, and the Reinforced Endotracheal Tube is one of our productions.
With a stainless-steel, spiral-wound, reinforcing wire within the tube wall and bonded 15mm connectors, these tubes are designed to reduce kinks and disconnects, by removing the circuits and connectors from the surgical field.
Composition and function of 8.5mm Reinforced Endotracheal Tube Uncuffed:
| Size(mm) | 8.5/9.0/9.5 |
| 15mm connector | It proxides Reliable connection to all standard equipment |
| Wire coil | Increasing flexibility, providing effective resistance to kinking |
| Murphy Eye | Murphy Eye can reduce the risk of occlusinon and maintain airflow |
- Material reinforcing spiral within the wall of the entire tube helps to prevent the tube from kinking.
- Murphy eye incorporated as an additional safety feature.
A reinforced endotracheal tube uncuffed is a medical device designed for endotracheal intubation, a procedure performed to establish and maintain a clear airway for patients requiring respiratory support. The tube is characterized by its reinforced structure and lack of an inflatable cuff.
Features:
- Reinforced Structure: The tube is reinforced with a spiral wire or other stiffening mechanism to provide additional rigidity and prevent kinking or collapse, especially during suctioning or patient movement.
- Uncuffed Design: The tube does not have an inflatable cuff at its distal end. This feature makes it suitable for short-term intubation or in situations where cuff inflation is not necessary or desirable, such as in patients with a narrow oropharyngeal airway or increased risk of tracheal stenosis.
- Atraumatic Tip: The tip of the tube is atraumatic and beveled to facilitate smooth insertion into the trachea, minimizing the risk of trauma to 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:
Kink Resistance: The reinforced structure of the tube reduces the risk of kinking or collapse, ensuring a patent airway and effective ventilation.
Ease of Removal: The absence of a cuff allows for easier removal of the tube, reducing the risk of complications during extubation.
Reduced Risk of Tracheal Damage: Without an inflatable cuff, the risk of tracheal damage or stenosis is minimized, especially during short-term intubation.
Cost-Effective: Uncuffed endotracheal tubes are generally more cost-effective compared to cuffed tubes.
Indications:
The reinforced endotracheal tube uncuffed is indicated for use in various clinical scenarios, including:
Short-term anesthesia
Emergency intubation
Patients with difficult oropharyngeal anatomy
Patients with increased risk of tracheal stenosis or injury
Spontaneous breathing trials
Contraindications:
The reinforced endotracheal tube uncuffed may be contraindicated in certain situations, such as:
Patients with a strong gag reflex
Patients with a narrow oropharyngeal airway
Patients with a high risk of aspiration
Patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation
Application Features:
-
It is designed to reduce the risk of kinking when a patient’s head is in an extended or flexed position.
-
It is suitable for both oral and nasal intubation.
-
The Reinforced Endotracheal Tube Uncuffed also has Tip-to-Tip X-ray line, which allows for safe positioning control.
