About Endobronchial Tube
Robertshaw tube designed to fit patient's anatomy for thoracic or pulmonary surgery and single lung long-term ventilation. Anatomically-correct curvatures facilitate proper placement and intubation. High volume/ low pressure tracheal cuff has a true barrel shape that minimizes pressure on the tracheal tissue and a uniquely shaped bronchial cuff helps prevent accidental upper lobe occlusion.Tracheal cuff separates the lung from the environment.Bronchial cuff separates the lungs from each other. Colour-coded pilot balloons with luer-lock connector, marked with the name of the lumen (tracheal or bronchial) for easy identification. Provided with double swivel connections with double caps. Sterile, individually packed.
Precision Lung Isolation for Critical ProceduresThe Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube distinguishes itself with high positioning accuracy, made possible by depth markings and an integrated radiopaque line for visibility under imaging. Designed specifically for lung isolation, it is crucial during thoracic surgeries requiring separate ventilation of each lung. Dual cuffs ensure effective sealing in both the trachea and bronchus, minimizing the risk of cross-ventilation and improving patient outcomes.
Versatile Sizing and Superior HandlingAvailable for both adults and pediatric patients, this endobronchial tube comes in various lengths (typically 39-45cm) and is lightweight at approximately 40g. Clear and blue markings aid identification, while the beveled distal tip provides atraumatic airway insertion. Ready-to-use and single-use, the sterilized tube accommodates a range of clinical scenarios, promoting efficient workflow and patient safety.
FAQ's of Endobronchial Tube:
Q: How is the Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube used during thoracic surgery?
A: The Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube is inserted into the patient's airway to separately ventilate each lung during thoracic surgeries. This allows for isolation of one lung, facilitating procedures such as lung resections and providing optimal visibility and access for the surgical team.
Q: What are the benefits of the dual cuff design?
A: The dual cuff system, featuring both tracheal and bronchial cuffs, provides enhanced sealing, minimizes air leakage, and allows for reliable separation of lung ventilation. This enables precise control over ventilation, crucial for effective lung isolation and improved patient safety.
Q: When should I choose a Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube over a single lumen tube?
A: A Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube is preferred when lung isolation or separate ventilation of lungs is needed-typically in thoracic surgeries or procedures where one lung must be collapsed or protected while the other is ventilated.
Q: Where should the endobronchial tube be stored for optimal shelf life?
A: Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to maintain sterility and ensure a shelf life of 3 to 5 years when unopened and properly stored.
Q: What makes this endobronchial tube suitable for both adults and pediatric patients?
A: The tube is available in a range of sizes with dimensions and length variations appropriate for both adult and pediatric anatomical needs, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for all patient types.
Q: How does the radiopaque line benefit clinicians during use?
A: The radiopaque line provides excellent X-ray visibility, enabling clinicians to confirm the tube's position accurately and promptly, reducing the risk of misplacement during critical procedures.
Q: What process ensures the sterility and safety of the tube?
A: The tube undergoes EO (ethylene oxide) sterilization, is latex-free, and manufactured to meet stringent ISO 5361 standards and CE certification requirements, ensuring it is safe and reliable for single-use applications.
