Description
The Smith & Nephew Portex Blue Line Suction Cuff Sacett Tracheal Tube is a medical device designed for patients who need a tracheostomy and require suctioning of secretions from the airway. It features an integrated suction lumen that allows for the removal of secretions from above the cuff without needing to interrupt ventilation. This can help in maintaining a clean and hygienic airway. The tube is made from thermosensitive PVC, which provides initial rigidity for insertion and then softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's anatomy. The high-volume, low-pressure Soft-Seal cuff is designed to create an effective seal while minimizing the risk of tracheal trauma.
Integrated Suction Lumen: Allows for the removal of secretions that pool above the cuff, which can help reduce the risk of aspiration. Thermosensitive PVC Material: The tube has initial firmness for insertion and softens at body temperature to comfortably fit the patient's airway anatomy. Soft-Seal™ Cuff: A high-volume, low-pressure cuff that helps to create a seal, reducing the risk of tracheal stenosis. When deflated, it fits smoothly against the tube to minimize discomfort during insertion and removal. Radiopaque Material: The tube contains material that is visible on imaging scans to help confirm its position. Clear Flange: The flange is clear to allow for visualization of the patient's stoma.
Q: What is the purpose of the suction line on this tracheal tube?
A: The integral suction lumen is designed to allow for the removal of secretions that accumulate above the cuff, which can help in maintaining a clear airway.
Q: What does the '8 mm' size indicate?
A: The '8 mm' refers to the internal diameter (ID) of the tracheostomy tube.
Q: What is the function of the cuff?
A: The Soft-Seal cuff is a low-pressure, high-volume cuff designed to create a seal against the tracheal wall to prevent air leaks and aspiration of secretions.
Q: What material is the tube made from?
A: The tube is made from a thermosensitive PVC material, which is firm for insertion and softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's airway for comfort.
Q: Who should use this medical device?
A: This tracheostomy tube is a medical device intended for use only by qualified and trained healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.
