Description
The Tuoren Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube is a specialized medical device designed for anatomically and physiologically isolating the lungs. It is intended for use in procedures that require independent ventilation for each lung, such as thoracic, esophageal, aortic, and spine surgeries. This left-sided tube allows for one-lung ventilation, which helps to facilitate surgical exposure and can be used to prevent contamination from one lung to the other in cases of hemorrhage or infection.
Designed for Lung Isolation: The tube is specifically constructed to separate the lungs anatomically and physiologically.
Independent Lung Ventilation: Allows for the ventilation of one lung while the other is collapsed, which is necessary for certain surgical procedures.
Left-Sided Design: As a left-sided tube, it offers a greater margin of safety for placement compared to right-sided tubes.
Included Stylet and Connector: Comes equipped with a stylet and a 3-way connector to aid in placement and operation.
Medical-Grade Material: Made from transparent, non-toxic PVC, and is latex-free.
Q: What is the primary function of the Tuoren Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube?
A: This tube is designed to isolate one lung from the other to allow for independent ventilation of a single lung (one-lung ventilation). This is often required for surgical procedures in the chest, such as those involving the lungs, esophagus, or thoracic spine.
Q: What does 'Left (DENL37)' and 'FR 37' signify?
A: The 'Left' designation indicates the tube is specifically designed for placement in the left mainstem bronchus. 'FR 37' refers to the size of the tube, with 37 French gauge being the external diameter, a common size for adult females.
Q: What material is the tube made from?
A: The Tuoren endobronchial tube is typically made from medical-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). It features high-volume, low-pressure cuffs, which help to create a seal in the airway while minimizing the risk of trauma to the mucosal tissue.
Q: Is this product sterile and intended for single use?
A: Yes, this endobronchial tube is supplied sterile and is intended for single-patient use. This is a standard practice to prevent cross-contamination and ensure patient safety during medical procedures.
Q: Who is qualified to use this medical device?
A: The placement and use of a double-lumen endobronchial tube is a complex medical procedure that should only be performed by trained and qualified healthcare professionals, such as anesthesiologists, in a controlled clinical setting like a hospital. It is imperative to seek professional medical guidance for its application.

Prevents contamination of the healthy lung from blood or purulent secretions.
Enables differential lung ventilation strategies for managing complex pulmonary conditions.
Permits access to an isolated airway for procedures like suctioning.

Direction for Use/Dosage
This product is intended for use by qualified medical professionals, such as anesthesiologists and intensivists, trained in airway management.
1. Before insertion, check that the lumens are patent and the cuffs are working correctly.
2. After inducing anesthesia, perform laryngoscopy and insert the tube with the bronchial curve facing anteriorly.
3. Once the tip passes the larynx, rotate the tube 90 degrees counter-clockwise and advance until resistance is met (approx. 29 cm at the teeth for an average adult).
4. Inflate the tracheal cuff and confirm bilateral ventilation.
5. Inflate the bronchial cuff and confirm lung isolation.
6. The final position should be confirmed with a fiberoptic bronchoscope, as auscultation alone is not sufficient.

Safety Information/Precaution
For professional use only. Must be used by personnel trained in advanced airway techniques.
Malposition or displacement of the tube can lead to life-threatening consequences.
Always verify tube placement with fiberoptic bronchoscopy after insertion and after any change in patient position.
Continuously monitor the patient's respiratory status during use.
Avoid over-inflation of the cuffs to minimize the risk of bronchial mucosal injury.
If mechanical ventilation is still required but lung isolation is not, the tube should be exchanged for a single-lumen tube.
Consult a healthcare professional for proper sizing and use.
