Description
The Tuoren Reinforced Endotracheal Tube with a cuff is a specialized medical device for maintaining a clear airway during surgical procedures. It is constructed with a built-in stainless steel spring to resist kinking and compression, which is particularly beneficial in surgeries requiring patient repositioning, such as head, neck, or neurosurgeries. The high-volume, low-pressure cuff is designed to create a seal in the airway with less pressure, and the tube is made from DEHP-free materials for biocompatibility.
Reinforced Structure: A built-in stainless steel spring provides resistance against kinking and compression, helping to maintain an open airway.
High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff: The cuffed design creates an effective seal within the trachea at lower pressures, reducing compression on the airway lining.
DEHP-Free Material: Constructed from materials without DEHP, enhancing its biosafety for patient use.
Kink Resistance: The spiral wire embedded in the tube's structure is designed to prevent the tube from bending or collapsing, ensuring continuous airflow.
Secure Placement: The reinforced design offers added stability, which is advantageous for secure placement in complex surgical situations.
Q: What is the function of the reinforcement in this endotracheal tube?
A: The reinforcement consists of a spiral wire embedded within the tube's structure, which provides resistance to kinking or collapsing. This is particularly useful during complex surgeries like head, neck, or neurosurgeries where a patient's position might otherwise compromise the airway.
Q: What does 'cuffed' mean for this tube?
A: A cuffed tube has an inflatable balloon near its tip. When inflated inside the trachea, it creates a seal to facilitate mechanical ventilation and reduce the risk of substances being aspirated into the lungs.
Q: Who is this medical device intended for?
A: This endotracheal tube is a medical device designed for use by qualified healthcare professionals, such as anesthesiologists and critical care physicians, for airway management during medical procedures. It is not intended for use by individuals without medical training.
Q: What is the purpose of the size '7.5' designation?
A: The size 7.5 refers to the internal diameter of the tube, which is 7.5 millimeters. This size is typically used for adult patients, and the selection is based on the individual's anatomy as determined by a healthcare provider.
Q: What material is the tube made from?
A: The tube is generally made from a transparent, non-toxic, medical-grade PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and is latex-free. Many tubes also feature a radiopaque line to help confirm the tube's position on an X-ray.

Direction for Use/Dosage
This product is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals only.
Before intubation, ensure all necessary equipment, such as a laryngoscope and suction devices, is available.
Position the patient appropriately, typically in a supine position with the head tilted back.
Using a laryngoscope to visualize the vocal cords, gently insert the endotracheal tube through the mouth and into the trachea.
Inflate the cuff to create a seal within the trachea.
Confirm correct placement by listening for bilateral breath sounds and using methods like capnography.
Secure the tube in place using tape or a designated holder to prevent displacement.

Safety Information/Precaution
For single-patient use only; do not reprocess or reuse.
To be used by qualified medical personnel experienced in airway management techniques.
Always confirm proper tube placement after insertion through methods like auscultation of lung sounds or X-ray to avoid esophageal intubation.
Monitor the patient continuously for vital signs and oxygen saturation after intubation.
Be cautious to prevent the patient from biting the cuff inflation line, as this can cause deflation and gas leakage.
Regularly assess the patient's readiness for extubation to minimize the duration of intubation.
Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for patients with pre-existing medical conditions.
