Description
The Polymed Endotracheal Tube Plain is a medical device used to maintain an open airway for patients who require mechanical ventilation. Made from a thermo-sensitive material, it adapts to the body's natural curvatures at body temperature. This flexible tube is inserted through the mouth or nose into the windpipe to assist with breathing during anesthesia or for short-term respiratory support. Its design includes features for procedural accuracy and patient comfort.
Thermo-Sensitive Material: The tube is made of a material that softens at body temperature, allowing it to conform to the patient's anatomy for a better fit.
Radiopaque Line: A line is incorporated along the tube's length, making it visible on X-rays to assist with accurate placement.
Murphy Eye: A smoothly finished opening at the distal end helps ensure continuous airflow and facilitates atraumatic intubation and extubation.
Standard Connector: The proximal end is fitted with a 15 mm connector, ensuring compatibility with standard ventilation equipment.
Kink-Resistant Construction: The tube is made from a transparent, kink-resistant material to reduce the risk of occlusion and maintain a clear airway.
Q: What is a plain endotracheal tube used for?
A: A plain endotracheal tube is a medical device used to maintain an open airway during procedures like anesthesia or for short-term mechanical ventilation. It is inserted through the mouth or nose into the windpipe to help a person breathe. The term 'plain' signifies that it does not have an inflatable cuff.
Q: What is the purpose of the 3.0 mm measurement?
A: The 3.0 mm measurement refers to the internal diameter of the tube. The size is chosen by a healthcare professional based on the patient's age and size to ensure a proper fit for the airway.
Q: What is this endotracheal tube made of?
A: This tube is crafted from a special thermo-sensitive material that is designed to conform to the body's natural curves at body temperature, which can enhance patient comfort. It is also kink-resistant.
Q: What are some features of this Polymed endotracheal tube?
A: This tube includes a standard 15 mm connector at the proximal end for ventilation equipment, a radiopaque line for X-ray visibility to confirm placement, and a Murphy eye at the distal end to ensure continuous airflow. It is intended for either nasal or oral intubation.
Q: Is this product sterile and for single use?
A: Yes, the Polymed Endotracheal Tube is supplied sterile and is individually packed in a peelable blister pack for hygiene. These devices are typically intended for single-patient use. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional for its proper use.

Direction for Use/Dosage
This product is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals only. The procedure involves inserting the flexible tube through the mouth or nose into the trachea. A laryngoscope is typically used to visualize the airway and guide the insertion of the tube past the vocal cords. After insertion, the tube's placement is confirmed, and it is secured to prevent shifting.
