Description
The Tuoren Endotracheal Tube is a cuffed medical device designed for airway management during surgical operations and for patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Made from medical-grade, thermosensitive PVC, this tube is intended to establish and maintain a secure airway. The size 7.0 tube is a common size for adult females. This product is DEHP-free, enhancing its biosafety for patient use.
High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff: This design ensures an effective seal within the trachea while minimizing pressure on the airway wall, which can reduce the risk of tissue damage.
Medical-Grade PVC Material: The tube is constructed from non-toxic, transparent, and thermosensitive PVC that softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's anatomy, reducing the potential for trauma during intubation.
Radio-Opaque Line: A line runs through the length of the tube, allowing for clear visualization on an X-ray to confirm the precise location and placement of the tube.
Smooth Murphy Eye: A polished opening at the tip of the tube helps to prevent respiratory obstruction should the primary opening become blocked.
Atraumatic Tip: The tube features a gently rounded, beveled tip designed for smooth and less traumatic intubation and extubation.
Q: What is a cuffed endotracheal tube used for?
A: A cuffed endotracheal tube is a medical device used by healthcare professionals to maintain a clear airway for breathing during medical procedures like surgery or in critical care situations. The cuff, which is an inflatable balloon, creates a seal within the trachea to facilitate ventilation and reduce the risk of aspiration.
Q: What is the purpose of the high-volume, low-pressure cuff?
A: The high-volume, low-pressure cuff is designed to create an adequate seal in the airway with minimal pressure against the tracheal wall. This design helps to reduce the risk of injury or compression to the airway tissues while ensuring effective ventilation.
Q: What does the 'Size 7.0' signify?
A: The 'Size 7.0' refers to the internal diameter of the tube, which is 7.0 millimeters. This size is generally considered appropriate for average-sized adult females for oral intubation, though the final selection depends on various patient factors and is determined by a healthcare professional.
Q: Is this endotracheal tube intended for single use?
A: Yes, endotracheal tubes are disposable medical devices intended for single-patient use to prevent cross-contamination and ensure sterility during medical procedures.
Q: Who is qualified to insert an endotracheal tube?
A: Endotracheal intubation is a medical procedure that must be performed by trained and qualified healthcare professionals, such as anesthesiologists, critical care physicians, or paramedics, who have expertise in airway management.

Direction for Use/Dosage
For use by trained medical professionals only. The appropriate tube size should be selected based on the patient's anatomy. During intubation, the tube is carefully inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea. Once in position, the cuff is inflated with the minimum volume of air required to create a seal, and cuff pressure should be monitored to remain within a safe range (e.g., 20-30 cmH2O) to avoid airway complications. Correct placement should be confirmed via methods such as auscultation and capnography, and can be verified by X-ray using the radio-opaque line.

Safety Information/Precaution
This product is intended for single use only and should be used by qualified healthcare professionals. Over-inflation of the cuff can lead to diminished capillary blood flow and mucosal damage, while under-inflation may result in insufficient airflow and an increased risk of aspiration. It is crucial to monitor cuff pressure regularly to ensure it remains within the safe recommended range. Always verify proper tube placement after intubation to prevent complications. Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for patients with pre-existing conditions.
