Wholesale Oral/Nasal Cuffed Endotracheal Tube – Thermoplastic PVC, Low-Pressure Cuff, ICU and OR Ready

Description

Wholesale Oral/Nasal Cuffed Endotracheal Tube – Versatility in Airway Access

The Oral Nasal Endotracheal Tube with Cuff is engineered to provide definitive airway access via either the oral or nasal route, offering maximum flexibility to clinicians across a range of surgical and critical care scenarios. This versatility is paramount when patient anatomy, oral surgery, or specific long-term care needs dictate a preferred route of intubation. As a dedicated wholesale supplier, we highlight the EO sterile, single-use nature of this tube, designed for insertion into the trachea to prevent airway obstruction and respiratory failure, regardless of the insertion methodology chosen.

Optimizing Tube Properties for Dual-Route Intubation

Material and Flexibility for Safety

The success of both oral and nasal intubation relies heavily on the tube’s material properties:

• Thermoplastic PVC: The use of thermoplastic PVC ensures the tube is rigid enough for controlled nasal intubation while still offering high elasticity to mitigate tissue trauma during insertion. At body temperature, the PVC softens, adapting to the complex curvatures of the upper airway and trachea with minimal pressure points.
• Dual-Route Planning:
  • Oral Intubation: Favored for rapid sequence induction, providing the shortest route and often a larger tube diameter.
  • Nasal Intubation: Preferred for long-term ventilation in the ICU, certain facial and oral surgeries, or when the oral route is obstructed. The tube’s smooth finish and controlled flexibility are essential for navigating the nasal passage safely.

The Gold Standard Low-Pressure Cuff

The integral low-pressure, high-volume cuff is the centerpiece of the tube’s safety profile, making it suitable for both short-term surgery and prolonged ICU stays:

• Tracheal Ischemia Prevention: The high-volume design minimizes pressure on the tracheal mucosa (aiming for less than 25 cm H₂O), preventing ischemia and subsequent tracheal damage, which is a major concern during prolonged intubation.
• Sealed Ventilation: It guarantees a reliable seal, which is critical for accurate mechanical ventilation, precise ETCO_2 monitoring, and maximum protection against fluid aspiration into the lungs.

Enhanced Clinical Features and Traceability

Insertion Guidance and Positional Accuracy

To aid clinicians in achieving perfect tip placement, the tube features highly visible markers:

• X-Ray Marker: A radio-opaque marker over the entire tube length ensures the tube’s entire trajectory and distal tip can be accurately verified radiographically, a mandatory step following any intubation.
• Precise Graduation: The tube is graduated every 2 cm and includes clear depth markers allowing for the tube position control. These markings are monitored at the lip/nostril to ensure the tube remains secure and correctly positioned away from the carina.
• Fail-Safe Airflow: The side Murphy eye provides a vital safety mechanism, maintaining gas flow even if the primary distal opening is temporarily occluded.

Traceability and Standardization

• Triple-Point Size Marking: The tube size is clearly marked in 3 places (connector, pilot balloon, and tube) for immediate verification and safety checks.
• Pilot Balloon LOT and Size Indication: The pilot balloon, which controls the cuff, carries the LOT and size indication. This detail ensures full traceability back to the manufacturing batch, a critical factor for hospital quality assurance programs.
• Detachable Connector: The detachable Ø 15 mm connector maintains universal compatibility while allowing the use of specialized airway devices (e.g., fiberoptic scopes or certain surgical tubing) during the intubation process.
