Description
The Polymed Endotracheal Tube Cuffed is a medical device intended for secure airway management during procedures like anesthesia, ventilation, and emergency situations. Made from non-toxic, medical-grade PVC, it is designed for patient safety and comfort. It features a high-volume, low-pressure cuff that provides a seal to prevent aspiration while minimizing trauma to the tracheal walls. A radiopaque line allows for accurate placement verification under imaging, and a universal 15mm connector ensures it works with standard respiratory equipment.
Made from soft, medical-grade, DEHP-free PVC. Features a high-volume, low-pressure cuff to reduce the risk of tracheal damage and aspiration. A radio-opaque line helps with accurate positioning under X-ray. Includes a smooth, rounded tip and a Murphy eye for atraumatic insertion. Equipped with a standard 15mm connector for compatibility with ventilators and anesthesia machines.
Q: Is this endotracheal tube sterile?
A: Yes, the Polymed Endotracheal Tube is supplied sterile in an individually sealed, peelable blister pack. However, it is intended for single use only and should not be re-sterilized.
Q: What is the purpose of the cuff on this tube?
A: The soft, high-volume, low-pressure cuff is designed to create a secure seal within the trachea, which helps in preventing air leakage and the aspiration of fluids.
Q: How can a medical professional confirm the tube's position after intubation?
A: The tube includes a radiopaque line, which makes it visible on X-rays, allowing for the confirmation of its exact location within the trachea.
Q: What is the function of the 'Murphy eye'?
A: The Murphy eye, located at the distal end of the tube, is a safety feature that provides an alternate pathway for airflow, ensuring continuous ventilation in case the primary opening becomes obstructed.
Q: Is this tube compatible with standard ventilation equipment?
A: Yes, it is equipped with a standard 15 mm connector at the proximal end, ensuring it can be securely attached to most breathing circuits and ventilation machines.
