Description

A sterile cuffed endotracheal tube designed for adult airway management provides reliable ventilation and protection during surgical and critical care procedures. The tube features a pilot balloon with a mechanical self-sealing valve, allowing controlled cuff inflation and consistent maintenance of cuff pressure. Constructed from durable, flexible plastic, the curved tube accommodates both oral and nasal intubation, providing versatility in clinical use.

The Hi-Lo® design incorporates a high-volume, low-pressure cuff with a large diameter approximately 1-1/2 times that of the average trachea. This design ensures a secure seal while minimizing pressure against tracheal tissue, supporting patient safety and reducing the risk of mucosal injury. The long cuff length further enhances protection against aspiration by maintaining cuff integrity during tracheal expansion and contraction.

The Murphy eye tip allows for continuous airflow even in the event of partial tube obstruction, enhancing ventilation safety and reliability. The tube’s 8.0 mm inner diameter is optimized for adult patients, with sizing options ranging from 5.1 to 8.0 mm to accommodate different airway anatomies. Radiopaque markers enable visualization under imaging for correct placement verification.
