Wholesale Cuffed Endotracheal Tube – Low-Pressure Cuff, EO Sterile, 3-Point Size Marking, Detachable Connector

Description

Wholesale Cuffed Endotracheal Tube – Low-Pressure, High-Volume Security

The Cuffed Endotracheal Tube is the benchmark device for adult airway management in the operating theatre and intensive care unit. Its primary function is to secure a definitive airway, facilitate positive pressure ventilation, and most crucially, provide a sealed barrier against aspiration of gastric contents or pharyngeal secretions. As a trusted wholesale supplier, we prioritize safety and performance, offering EO sterile, single-use Cuffed ET Tubes engineered with a low-pressure, high-volume cuff, minimizing the risk of tracheal injury while ensuring maximum sealing efficacy. This device is essential for clinicians responsible for preventing airway obstruction and managing respiratory failure in adult and larger pediatric patients.

Advanced Cuff Technology and Aspiration Risk Reduction

The Low-Pressure, High-Volume Advantage

The distinction of a high-quality cuffed ET tube lies in its cuff design:

• Low-Pressure, High-Volume Cuff: The cuff is designed to inflate to a large volume while maintaining a low pressure against the tracheal wall (ideally below 25cm H₂O ). This design maximizes the area of contact, providing an optimal seal while significantly reducing the risk of mucosal ischemia, a major cause of post-extubation complications.
• Effective Aspiration Barrier: The sealed cuff is critical for protecting the lower airway and lungs from aspiration, making this tube mandatory for patients with impaired consciousness, compromised gag reflex, or those undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Enhanced Monitoring, Safety, and Traceability

Precision monitoring and product traceability are paramount in critical care:

• Triple Size Marking: To minimize error during rapid insertion, the tube size is clearly marked in 3 places – on the connector, on the pilot balloon, and directly on the tube body. This triple verification system ensures accurate selection and documentation.
• Pilot Balloon Traceability: The pilot balloon is a functional and safety feature, containing the LOT number and size indication. This allows immediate verification of the inserted tube’s specifications and aids in rapid inventory tracking or recall procedures, exceeding basic industry standards.
• X -Ray and Depth Control: Like its uncuffed counterpart, this tube features a radio-opaque marker over the entire tube length for post-intubation X -ray confirmation. The tube is also graduated every 2cm, providing clear depth markers allowing for the tube position control and monitoring for migration.
• Murphy Eye and Detachable Connector: The tube is equipped with a side Murphy eye as a ventilation redundancy mechanism. Additionally, the detachable Ø 15 mm connector allows for specialized connections (e.g., during fibrotic intubation or unique surgical settings) and visual verification of exhalation.

Single-Use Protocol and Clinical Indications

Sterility and Logistics

The entire product, from the PVC tube body to the cuff and pilot system, is designed for safety and convenience:

• EO Sterilized and Packaging: Supplied EO sterilized and housed in individual paper-foil packaging, the product maintains its biological safety until the moment of use.
• Single-Use Mandate: Designated for single-use, it eliminates the cross-contamination risk and operational overhead associated with reprocessing.

Key Clinical Applications

The Cuffed Endotracheal Tube is indicated across numerous high-acuity scenarios:

• Mechanical Ventilation: Standard for securing the airway for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation in the ICU .
• Aspiration Risk: Essential for patients at high risk of aspiration, including trauma, gastrointestinal bleeding, and altered mental status cases.
• Anesthesia: Primary choice for general anesthesia, particularly where positive pressure ventilation is required and the surgical site necessitates a secure seal (e.g., laparoscopic procedures).
• Airway Protection: Used in patients with difficult intubation or those requiring specific operative positions (e.g., operation on head or back) where maintaining a sealed airway is critical.

By stocking the Wholesale Cuffed Endotracheal Tube, procurement managers ensure their facilities are equipped with a high-safety device featuring a low-pressure cuff, unparalleled traceability, and reliable EO sterility for all adult critical airway needs.
