This La-Med Endotracheal Tube is a medical device intended for use by healthcare professionals to establish and maintain a clear airway in patients during surgical procedures or for respiratory support. It is made from a thermo-sensitive material that softens at body temperature, conforming to the patient's airway for reduced trauma. The integrated high-volume, low-pressure cuff is designed to create a secure seal within the trachea, which helps in facilitating mechanical ventilation and preventing air leaks.
Thermo-sensitive Material: The tube is constructed from a material that adapts to the body's contours at body temperature, enhancing patient comfort.
High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff: This feature allows for an effective seal in the trachea with minimal pressure on the tracheal wall, reducing the risk of tissue damage.
Murphy Eye: A smooth, rounded hole at the distal end provides an alternative pathway for airflow, helping to prevent complete airway obstruction.
Radio-Opaque Line: A line is incorporated throughout the length of the tube, enabling clear visualization on an X-ray to confirm correct placement.
Kink-Resistant Inflation Tube: The tube used to inflate the cuff is designed to resist kinking, ensuring the cuff can be reliably inflated and deflated.
Q: What is the primary function of this cuffed endotracheal tube?
A: This tube is designed for airway management during general anaesthesia, intensive care, and for mechanical ventilation. It is intended for oral or nasal intubation to maintain a clear airway.
Q: What is the purpose of the cuff?
A: The inflatable cuff creates a seal within the trachea, which helps in preventing air leaks and reduces the risk of aspiration. The La-Med tube features a high-volume, low-pressure cuff to form an airtight grip while minimizing pressure on the tracheal wall.
Q: Is this product intended for multiple uses?
A: No, this endotracheal tube is sterile, non-pyrogenic, and designed for single use only to ensure patient safety and prevent cross-contamination.
The device is designed to secure a patient's airway for general anesthesia or respiratory support.
Its cuffed design creates a seal that minimizes the risk of aspiration and prevents air leakage during ventilation.
The tube is made from a material that softens with body heat to conform to the patient's anatomy, aiding comfort.
The presence of a Murphy eye serves as a safeguard against potential blockages of the tube's main opening.
This product is intended for use by qualified and trained medical professionals only. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the patient's mouth or nose into the trachea. Once in position, the cuff is inflated with air to create a seal against the tracheal wall. Correct placement must be confirmed by methods such as auscultation of breath sounds or capnography.
For single use only; do not reuse or re-sterilize.
To be used exclusively by trained healthcare providers familiar with endotracheal intubation techniques.
Do not use the product if the individual sterile package is opened or damaged.
It is advisable to monitor cuff pressure to prevent over-inflation and potential trauma to the trachea.
Always confirm the correct placement of the tube after insertion to ensure proper ventilation.
Consult a healthcare professional for any questions or concerns regarding the use of this medical device.
Sterile, non-pyrogenic, and for single patient use.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Each tube is individually packaged in a sterile peel pouch.
