The Sterimed Endotracheal Tube Cuffed (SMD 701C) is a medical device designed for airway management and mechanical ventilation. It is made from non-toxic, medical-grade clear PVC that softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's respiratory tract. The inflatable cuff creates a seal within the trachea, which helps in preventing air leaks and minimizing the risk of aspiration of gastric contents into the lungs. This tube is intended for nasal or oral intubation.
High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff: Provides an adequate seal in the trachea at a lower pressure, reducing the risk of tracheal injury.
Radiopaque Line: A line runs through the tube, allowing for clear visualization on an X-ray to confirm correct placement.
Smooth Polished Murphy Eye: A polished side port at the distal end provides an alternate pathway for airflow in case of occlusion of the main tip.
Atraumatic Tip and Surface: The tube has a smooth, soft tip and surface to facilitate easier intubation and extubation with reduced trauma.
Standard 15mm Connector: Features a universal connector at the proximal end for secure attachment to standard anesthesia and ventilation equipment.
Q: What is a cuffed endotracheal tube used for?
A: A cuffed endotracheal tube is used by healthcare professionals for airway management during general anaesthesia, intensive care, and for mechanical ventilation. The cuff, when inflated, helps to secure the airway and prevent leakage of gases.
Q: What is the purpose of the cuff on this endotracheal tube?
A: The high-volume, low-pressure cuff is designed to create a seal against the tracheal wall. This seal prevents air leakage and the aspiration of gastric contents into the lungs.
Q: What material is the Sterimed endotracheal tube made from?
A: This tube is made from a non-toxic, medical-grade PVC (polyvinyl chloride) that is free from phthalates. It is designed to be thermo-sensitive, meaning it softens at body temperature for patient comfort.
Q: How is the correct placement of the tube verified?
A: The tube features a full-length radio-opaque line, which makes it visible on a chest X-ray, allowing medical staff to confirm its exact location.
Q: Is this product intended for single use?
A: Yes, this endotracheal tube is supplied as a sterile product, individually packed, and is intended for single-patient use only to prevent cross-contamination.
Secures the airway for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or respiratory support.
Reduces the risk of aspiration by creating a seal in the trachea.
Allows for more precise control over ventilation by preventing air leaks.
Made from thermo-sensitive PVC that softens for patient comfort.
Facilitates confirmation of placement through a radiopaque line.
This product is intended for use by qualified medical professionals only.
The procedure involves preparing the patient, visualizing the vocal cords with a laryngoscope, and gently inserting the tube into the trachea.
Once inserted, the cuff is inflated with air to create a seal.
Correct placement must be confirmed by methods such as auscultation of breath sounds or capnography.
The tube is then secured in place using tape or a commercial holder.
For single-patient use only. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.
To be used exclusively by trained healthcare professionals familiar with intubation procedures.
Before use, visually inspect the product for any damage and check the integrity of the cuff by inflating it.
Do not over-inflate the cuff, as it can cause damage to the trachea.
Ensure the tube is properly secured to prevent accidental dislodgement.
Patients with an endotracheal tube require continuous monitoring.
Consult a healthcare professional for any concerns regarding the use of this medical device.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Sterile until the individual peelable pouch pack is opened or damaged.
This product is E.T.O sterilized and pyrogen-free.
Made from 100% Phthalate-free, non-toxic, medical-grade PVC.
