Description
The Sterimed Tracheostomy Tube Cuffed (SMD 702C) is designed to maintain a patent airway for individuals who require mechanical ventilation. It is constructed from a non-toxic, medical-grade PVC material that is thermo-sensitive, meaning it softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's anatomy for enhanced comfort. The cuffed design creates a seal within the trachea, which aids in providing ventilation and minimizing the risk of aspiration.
Made with Medical-Grade PVC: The tube is fabricated from non-toxic, non-irritant PVC, which is clear for better visibility. Thermo-sensitive Material: It features a thermo-sensitive tube that softens at body temperature, contributing to patient comfort during use. Anatomically Shaped: The tube is designed with a smooth, curved distal end to allow for atraumatic intubation and extubation procedures. Radio-Opaque Line: A radio-opaque line is incorporated to facilitate the accurate positioning and identification of the tube placement. Universal Connector: It is equipped with a universal 15 mm connector at the proximal end, ensuring compatibility with most standard ventilation systems.
Q: What is the purpose of the cuff on this tracheostomy tube?
A: The cuff is an inflatable balloon at the end of the tube that creates a seal against the tracheal wall. This is done to facilitate positive pressure ventilation and reduce the risk of aspiration.
Q: What material is this tube made of?
A: This tracheostomy tube is constructed from non-toxic, non-irritant, medical-grade clear PVC that softens at body temperature for patient comfort.
Q: Is this product sterile and intended for single use?
A: Yes, the tube is E.T.O (ethylene oxide) sterilized, pyrogen-free, and designed for single-patient use to maintain sterility and ensure safety.
Q: Who should use a cuffed tracheostomy tube?
A: A cuffed tracheostomy tube is typically used for patients who require mechanical ventilation to breathe. It is a medical device and should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
Q: Does this tube have features to ensure correct placement?
A: Yes, it includes a radio-opaque line and markings that are visible on X-rays to help verify the tube's position after insertion.
