About Tracheostomy Tube Cuffed
Tracheostomy Tube Cuffed
- Made of thermosensitive material which softens at body temperature to accommodate individual patient anatomy.
- Soft flexible flange helps easy fixation.
- 15 mm connector can be rotated in 360 degree direction & facilitates the safe connection to breathing system from any direction.
- Radio opaque blue line for X-ray visualization.
- Soft low pressure cuff dynamically adjusts the pressure at the point of contact during the breathing cycle. Thus minimize the risk of tracheal trauma & other complications.
- Pilot balloon with non return valve facilitates the cuff inflation & deflation.
- Supplied with cotton neck tape.Sterile, individually Blister packed.
Reliable Airway SecurityThe cuffed tracheostomy tube provides a secure, airtight seal crucial for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or airway protection. Engineered with a high-volume, low-pressure cuff to minimize tracheal injury, it ensures patient safety and comfort during use, making it suitable for operating rooms, ICUs, and emergency care.
Versatile Size Range and Patient CompatibilityAvailable in a variety of internal diameters, the tracheostomy tube accommodates both pediatric and adult patients. Its lightweight design and blue/transparent finish offer clear identification and help healthcare providers match the right fit for precise airway management.
Convenient, Safe, and Hygienic UsePackaged sterile and disposable for single-use application, the tube reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Accessories like the obturator and suction line cap support seamless procedural flow, while storage is simplified due to its five-year shelf life and portability.
FAQ's of Tracheostomy Tube Cuffed:
Q: How is the tracheostomy tube cuff inflated and what is the recommended cuff pressure?
A: The cuff is inflated manually using a syringe via the inflation line and pilot balloon. For adults, it is recommended to maintain the cuff pressure between 20-30 cm H2O to ensure airway sealing and minimize tracheal injury.
Q: What sizes are available and how do I select the right tube for my patient?
A: These tracheostomy tubes are available in various internal diameters, typically ranging from 5 to 10 mm, for both pediatric and adult patients. Selection should be based on the patient's age, anatomy, and clinical needs. Consult clinical guidelines for optimal sizing.
Q: When and where should this tracheostomy tube be used?
A: The device is intended for use in medical settings such as hospitals, intensive care units, and emergency rooms, whenever airway management or mechanical ventilation is needed. It is suitable for both surgical and percutaneous tracheostomy procedures.
Q: What is the function of the radiopaque line on the tracheostomy tube?
A: The radiopaque line embedded in the tube enables clinicians to verify tube placement and position on X-ray images, ensuring accurate and safe airway management.
Q: How do I store the tracheostomy tube to maintain its sterility and integrity?
A: Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging remains unopened and intact until immediately before use to preserve sterility throughout its five-year shelf life.
Q: What accessories are included with the tracheostomy tube and what are their uses?
A: Each unit comes with an obturator, which aids in tube insertion, and a suction line cap to maintain hygiene when suctioning is not being performed, facilitating safe and efficient airway management.
Q: What are the benefits of using a cuffed, disposable tracheostomy tube in airway management?
A: A cuffed, disposable tube offers effective airway sealing for ventilation while minimizing contamination risks. Its single-use design ensures patient safety, simplifies infection control, and promotes efficient clinical workflow.
