The Kid-man AAPRIM-65 Cuffed Endotracheal Tube is a high-quality, single-use medical device designed for secure airway management and reliable respiratory support. Crafted from flexible, medical-grade PVC, this 6.5 mm tube is engineered to minimize trauma while ensuring optimal airflow. It features a low-pressure, high-volume cuff that provides an effective seal against the tracheal wall, reducing the risk of aspiration and airway obstruction in clinical environments.
Advantages
This endotracheal tube offers significant clinical benefits, including a Murphy eye that provides an alternative ventilation path should the primary opening become occluded. The inclusion of an X-ray opaque line running the entire length of the tube allows for precise verification of placement via imaging. The tube is latex-free and sterilized using ethylene oxide, ensuring safety for patients with latex sensitivities. Its design incorporates clear depth markings and a universal 15 mm connector, facilitating seamless integration with standard anesthesia and ventilation equipment.
Suitable for
- General anesthesia procedures
- Emergency airway management
- Mechanical ventilation in intensive care units
- Prevention of airway obstruction during surgical interventions
This device may not be suitable for patients with specific anatomical abnormalities of the airway that require specialized or non-standard tube shapes. It is also not intended for long-term intubation beyond the recommended duration for single-use sterile devices.
Key specifications
- Tube size: 6.5 mm
- Material: Flexible, latex-free PVC
- Cuff type: Low-pressure, high-volume
- Connector: 15 mm universal
- Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EO)
- Features: Murphy eye, X-ray opaque line, depth markings
The tube should be handled by trained medical professionals only. Before insertion, inspect the packaging for integrity and verify the cuff function by inflating the pilot balloon. Ensure the tube is lubricated appropriately and inserted using standard clinical protocols, monitoring the depth markings to confirm correct positioning within the trachea. Once in place, secure the tube and connect it to the ventilation circuit.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the required tube diameter for the specific patient population
- Ensure compatibility with existing ventilation circuits and monitoring equipment
- Check the expiration date and packaging integrity upon receipt
Usage recommendations: Always confirm proper tube placement through auscultation and capnography immediately after intubation. Regularly monitor cuff pressure to prevent tracheal mucosal injury.
