Description
The Sterimed Endotracheal Tube Plain (SMD 701P) is a medical device intended for airway management in clinical settings such as general anaesthesia, intensive care, and emergency medicine. It is designed for both oral and nasal intubation to help maintain a patent airway and facilitate mechanical ventilation. The tube is constructed from a non-toxic, thermo-sensitive PVC material that softens at body temperature, conforming to the patient's anatomy to support comfort. Its design focuses on patient safety and ease of use for the healthcare provider.
Thermo-sensitive Material: The tube is made from a special PVC that softens at body temperature, allowing it to conform to the body's contours.
Radiopaque Line: A line that is visible on X-rays runs the entire length of the tube, which aids medical staff in verifying the correct placement.
Atraumatic Design: It features a smooth, polished Murphy eye and a tapered distal end to allow for less traumatic intubation and extubation.
Universal Connector: The proximal end is fitted with a standard 15mm connector, ensuring compatibility with common ventilation and anaesthesia equipment.
Kink-Resistant Construction: The thin-walled tube is designed to resist kinking, which helps in maintaining an unobstructed airway.
Q: What is the primary use of the Sterimed Endotracheal Tube?
A: The Sterimed Endotracheal Tube is used to provide a direct and unimpeded airway for gases to pass to and from the lungs, often for mechanical ventilation or during anesthesia.
Q: What does 'Plain' signify in this product's name?
A: In the context of an endotracheal tube, 'Plain' indicates that the tube is uncuffed, meaning it does not have an inflatable balloon at its distal end.
Q: What material is the tube made from?
A: This endotracheal tube is manufactured from a non-toxic, non-irritant, medical-grade PVC compound. Some versions may also be coated with silicon elastomer.
Q: Is this tube suitable for both oral and nasal intubation?
A: Yes, the tube features a tip that is designed for both nasal and oral intubation procedures.
Q: Does the tube have features for X-ray visibility?
A: Yes, a radio-opaque line is provided throughout the length of the tube to allow for X-ray visualization, which helps in confirming the correct placement.
