Euro-Tracheal Tube with cuf ( Size 5.5 mm)

The Euromed Tracheal Tube with Cuff (Size 5.5 mm) is a critical, sterile, single-use medical device engineered for precise and secure airway management and mechanical ventilation. Designed for use in demanding clinical environments, it establishes and maintains a clear airway for patients requiring respiratory support.

Crafted from high-quality, medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this tracheal tube ensures patient comfort and minimizes tissue irritation during intubation. Its most distinctive feature is the soft, high-volume, low-pressure cuff, which creates an effective tracheal seal. This design not only prevents air leakage but also significantly reduces the risk of tracheal trauma often associated with higher cuff pressures.

A crucial integrated radiopaque line runs the length of the tube, allowing for accurate and immediate verification of placement via X-ray imaging. This feature is indispensable for ensuring optimal positioning within the trachea, thereby enhancing patient safety and treatment efficacy.

Benefits of Use

• Ensures Secure Airway Management by providing a patent and stable respiratory pathway.
• Features an Effective Tracheal Seal with a high-volume, low-pressure cuff, reducing the risk of aspiration and air leakage while minimizing tracheal wall damage.
• Facilitates Precise Placement Verification through an embedded radiopaque line, allowing for accurate positioning confirmation via X-ray.
• Offers Enhanced Patient Comfort due to its soft, medical-grade PVC construction and optimized cuff design.
• Promotes Reduced Risk of Infection as a sterile, single-use device, adhering to strict hygiene standards.
• Designed for Reliable Mechanical Ventilation support in critical care and surgical settings.

How to Use

1. Patient Preparation: Ensure the patient is appropriately positioned and pre-oxygenated. Have all necessary equipment, including a laryngoscope, suction, and cuff inflator, readily available.
2. Tube Inspection: Carefully remove the sterile tube from its packaging. Inspect for any damage and confirm the cuff inflates and deflates properly without leaks.
3. Intubation: Under direct visualization with a laryngoscope, gently insert the Euromed Tracheal Tube through the vocal cords into the trachea to the appropriate depth.
4. Cuff Inflation: Inflate the cuff with the minimum volume of air required to achieve an effective seal, using a pressure manometer to monitor cuff pressure (typically 20-30 cmH2O).
5. Placement Verification: Confirm correct tube placement immediately using multiple methods, including auscultation of bilateral breath sounds, end-tidal CO2 detection, and chest X-ray to visualize the radiopaque line.
6. Securing the Tube: Once placement is confirmed, secure the tracheal tube firmly to the patient's face or head using an appropriate tube holder or tape to prevent accidental dislodgement.
7. Ongoing Monitoring: Continuously monitor the patient's respiratory status and regularly check cuff pressure.

Cautions & Warnings

• Professional Use Only: This device is intended for use only by trained medical professionals skilled in intubation techniques.
• Sterility: Do not use if the sterile packaging is opened or damaged.
• Single-Use: This is a single-use device. Do not re-sterilize or reuse, as this may compromise sterility and device integrity, leading to patient harm.
• Cuff Pressure Monitoring: Excessive cuff pressure can cause tracheal ischemia and necrosis. Always monitor cuff pressure to maintain it within recommended physiological limits.
• Placement Verification: Always verify proper tube placement immediately after insertion and periodically thereafter to prevent complications such as esophageal intubation or bronchial intubation.
• Disposal: Dispose of the used device and all associated waste according to hospital protocols and local hazardous waste regulations.
• Latex-Free: The device is latex-free to minimize allergic reactions, but always confirm with packaging.

Ingredients / Materials

• Medical-Grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Provides flexibility, biocompatibility, and clarity.
• Radiopaque Line: Embedded within the tube wall for X-ray visibility, facilitating accurate placement confirmation.
• Latex-Free Components: Ensures safety for patients with latex allergies.
