Euro-Tracheal Tube with cuf ( Size 7.5 mm)

Product Overview

The Euro-Tracheal Tube with Cuff (Size 7.5 mm) is an essential, sterile, and single-use medical device meticulously designed for establishing and maintaining a secure airway in patients. Manufactured from medical-grade PVC, it ensures patient safety and comfort during critical medical interventions, such as mechanical ventilation or airway protection during surgical procedures. Its thoughtful design aims to minimize tracheal wall trauma while ensuring an effective seal for optimal patient care.

Key Benefits

• Secure Airway Management: Provides a reliable pathway for ventilation and airway protection, crucial in critical care settings.
• Minimizes Tracheal Trauma: Features a high-volume, low-pressure cuff that evenly distributes pressure against the tracheal wall, significantly reducing the risk of mucosal injury and post-extubation complications.
• Optimal Seal: The cuff ensures an effective and consistent seal, which is critical for positive pressure ventilation, preventing air leakage, and protecting against aspiration of gastric contents or secretions.
• Radiopaque Line: Incorporates a full-length radiopaque line embedded in the tube wall, allowing for accurate visualization and confirmation of tube placement via X-ray, enhancing patient safety.
• Sterile and Single-Use: Each tube is individually packaged and sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO) for optimal patient safety, strict infection control, and to prevent cross-contamination.
• Standard Connector: Designed with a standard 15mm connector, ensuring universal compatibility with a wide range of ventilation equipment, resuscitators, and other respiratory devices.
• Smooth, Atraumatic Tip: The tube features a smoothly rounded, atraumatic tip to facilitate easy and safe insertion, minimizing potential tissue damage during intubation.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Ensure all necessary intubation equipment is readily available and checked, including a laryngoscope, stylet, syringe for cuff inflation, water-soluble lubricant, and airway confirmation devices (e.g., capnograph).
2. Pre-oxygenation: Administer pre-oxygenation to the patient according to established clinical guidelines to optimize oxygen reserves.
3. Cuff Integrity Check: Before insertion, inflate the cuff with a small volume of air using a syringe to check for leaks. Deflate the cuff completely and remove the syringe prior to intubation.
4. Insertion: Under direct visualization with a laryngoscope, carefully insert the Euro-Tracheal Tube through the vocal cords into the trachea, ensuring proper depth.
5. Cuff Inflation: Once the tube is correctly positioned, slowly inflate the cuff with the minimum volume of air required to achieve an effective seal (minimal occluding volume technique), checking for air leak around the cuff.
6. Confirmation: Confirm proper tube placement using multiple methods, including clinical assessment (e.g., bilateral breath sounds, symmetrical chest rise) and instrumental methods (e.g., capnography demonstrating end-tidal CO2, chest X-ray).
7. Secure Tube: Secure the tracheal tube firmly with an appropriate tube holder or adhesive tape to prevent accidental dislodgement.

Caution & Warnings

• For Professional Use Only: This device is intended for use by trained medical professionals only, in an appropriate clinical setting.
• Sterility: Do not use if the sterile package is opened, damaged, or compromised in any way. Inspect the product before use.
• Single-Use: This product is designed for single-use only. Re-use, reprocessing, or resterilization may lead to device malfunction, loss of sterility, and potential cross-contamination, posing a serious risk to patient safety.
• Cuff Pressure Monitoring: Continuously monitor cuff pressure to prevent both under-inflation (risk of aspiration, air leak) and over-inflation (risk of tracheal ischemia, necrosis, and injury).
• Proper Sizing: Ensure correct tube size selection for the patient to minimize airway trauma, optimize ventilation, and reduce complications.
• Material Compatibility: Avoid contact with substances incompatible with medical-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) as this may compromise device integrity.
• Disposal: Dispose of the used device and all associated materials according to hospital protocols for biohazardous waste and local environmental regulations.

Ingredients (Materials)
