Description
This Tuoren Endotracheal Tube is a plain, uncuffed device used by healthcare professionals to establish a secure airway for ventilation. Made from flexible, medical-grade PVC, it is designed for atraumatic intubation and extubation. The material is DEHP-free, contributing to its biosafety profile. Its primary application is in surgical operations and for patients who are unable to breathe on their own, ensuring a clear passage for air and anesthetic gases to the lungs. The plain design is often selected for short-term use and in pediatric patients to reduce the risk of pressure-related complications in the trachea.
Made from Medical-Grade PVC: The tube is constructed from non-toxic, transparent, and thermo-sensitive PVC material that is flexible and designed to protect delicate mucosal tissue.
DEHP-Free Material: Manufactured without DEHP, enhancing the biosafety of the device for patient use.
Atraumatic Tip Design: Features a gently rounded, beveled tip for smooth intubation and to reduce the potential for trauma during insertion.
Radio-Opaque Line: A line runs through the length of the tube, allowing for visualization on an X-ray to confirm the exact location after placement.
Murphy Eye: A smooth, rounded opening at the tip provides an alternative pathway for gas flow, helping to prevent respiratory obstruction.
Q: What is the primary purpose of the Tuoren Endotracheal Tube?
A: An endotracheal tube is a medical device inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe) to maintain an open airway for patients who cannot breathe on their own or require mechanical ventilation.
Q: What does the 'Plain' in the product name signify?
A: The term 'Plain' indicates that this is an uncuffed endotracheal tube, which does not have an inflatable balloon at its tip. Such tubes are often used in pediatric or neonatal patients.
Q: Who is qualified to insert an endotracheal tube?
A: The insertion of an endotracheal tube, a procedure known as intubation, must be performed by a trained and qualified healthcare professional, such as an anesthesiologist or emergency medical personnel, in a hospital or clinical setting.
Q: What is the significance of 'Size 3.5'?
A: The 'Size 3.5' refers to the internal diameter of the tube, which is 3.5 mm. The appropriate tube size is selected by a medical professional based on the patient's specific anatomical requirements.
Q: Is this endotracheal tube sterile and reusable?
A: This endotracheal tube is supplied as a sterile product and is intended for single use only to ensure patient safety and prevent cross-contamination.
