Endotracheal Tubes Cuffed(3.5-7.5)

A Cuffed Endotracheal Tube (ET Tube) is a sterile, single-use medical device designed to establish and maintain a secure airway by being inserted into the trachea through the mouth or nose. It is primarily used during general anesthesia, mechanical ventilation, emergency airway management, and critical care procedures.

The tube features an inflatable cuff near its distal end that seals the tracheal wall once inflated. This cuff ensures effective positive pressure ventilation, prevents air leakage, and reduces the risk of aspiration of gastric or oral secretions.

Purpose and Clinical Importance

Cuffed endotracheal tubes are essential in airway management for:

• Administration of inhalational anesthesia

• Mechanical ventilation in ICU settings

• Emergency resuscitation

• Surgical procedures requiring airway control

• Trauma care

• Respiratory failure management

The inflatable cuff plays a critical role in maintaining controlled ventilation and protecting the lungs from contamination.

Key Features

1. High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff

Designed to provide an effective tracheal seal while minimizing pressure on the tracheal mucosa, reducing the risk of injury.

2. Medical-Grade PVC Construction

Manufactured from clear, non-toxic, DEHP-free (optional) PVC for flexibility, durability, and patient safety.

3. Radiopaque Line

Integrated radiopaque strip along the length of the tube allows accurate placement confirmation via X-ray.

4. Smooth Beveled Tip

Facilitates easy and atraumatic insertion.

5. Murphy Eye

Additional side hole near the distal tip enhances patient safety by ensuring airflow if the main lumen becomes obstructed.

6. Pilot Balloon with One-Way Valve

Indicates cuff inflation status and allows precise inflation and deflation control.
