Trachestomy Tube

Trachestomy Tube

A tracheostomy tube is a hollow tube placed into the trachea through a surgical incision in the neck (tracheostomy), creating an artificial airway. It facilitates breathing by bypassing upper airway obstructions or assisting with mechanical ventilation.

  • Tube: Made of medical-grade materials such as silicone or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), designed to be inserted into the trachea.
  • Cuff: Some tubes include an inflatable cuff that, when inflated, seals the tube within the trachea to prevent aspiration or air leakage around the tube.
  • Connector: Allows attachment to respiratory devices or oxygen sources.Trachestomy Tube is well supplied with tube, two inner cannulae, cleaning brush and tube holder. 

 

Features:
 

  • Hollow obturator with retaining clips and hemispherical tip aid tube insertion
  • Soft-Seal cuff with low profile and smooth transition to the tube eases insertion
  • Comfortable
  • Thermosensitive material, with sufficient initial rigidity for insertion, conforms to the individual patient's upper respiratory tract at body temperature
  • Clear, anatomically-shaped flange provides better access for stoma care
  • Improved Breathing: Facilitates easier breathing for patients with upper airway obstruction, respiratory distress, or needing prolonged ventilatory support.
  • Suctioning: Allows for removal of secretions from the airway, reducing the risk of complications such as pneumonia.
  • Patient Comfort: Helps improve comfort and quality of life for patients requiring long-term ventilation or airway management.

 

  • Fenestrated Options: Some tubes have fenestrations (holes) near the distal end to allow airflow through the upper airway, facilitating speech and swallowing.
  • Ventilation Ports: Allows attachment to ventilators or manual resuscitators for assisted breathing.
  • Disposable or Reusable: Available in both disposable and reusable options, depending on clinical protocols and patient needs.

 

How It Works:

  • Insertion: Surgically inserted into the trachea through a tracheostomy incision.
  • Maintenance: Regular cleaning and suctioning to prevent blockages and maintain airway patency.
  • Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of patient respiratory status and tube position to ensure effective ventilation.
  • Size: Available in various sizes and lengths to accommodate different patient anatomies and clinical needs.
  • Material: Made of biocompatible materials that are safe for prolonged internal use.
  • Cuff Type: Optional inflatable cuff for enhanced sealing or non-cuffed design for specific patient requirements.

 

Applications:

  • Critical Care: Used in intensive care units (ICUs) for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or airway protection.
  • Long-term Care: Provides long-term airway management in patients with chronic respiratory conditions or neuromuscular disorders.
  • Emergency Medicine: Used in emergency situations to secure the airway rapidly and provide respiratory support.
