The Kid-man Endotracheal Tube with a 7.0 mm diameter is a high-quality, single-use medical device designed for effective airway management and respiratory support. Constructed from flexible, medical-grade PVC, this tube is engineered to provide comfort and safety during intubation procedures. It features a low-pressure, high-volume cuff that ensures a reliable seal against the tracheal wall, minimizing the risk of mucosal damage. The inclusion of a Murphy eye provides an alternative ventilation path, while the integrated X-ray marker allows for precise radiographic verification of the tube's position within the patient's airway.
Advantages
This endotracheal tube offers significant clinical benefits, including enhanced visibility and ease of monitoring. The entire length of the tube is equipped with an X-ray opaque marker, facilitating accurate placement confirmation. The graduated markings every 1 cm, combined with a double depth marker, allow medical professionals to monitor the insertion depth precisely. The universal 15 mm connector ensures compatibility with standard ventilation equipment, while the latex-free composition reduces the risk of allergic reactions, making it a safe choice for a wide range of patients in clinical environments.
Suitable for
- Securing and maintaining a patent airway during general anesthesia
- Providing mechanical ventilation in intensive care units
- Emergency respiratory support for patients with airway obstruction
- Clinical procedures requiring controlled oxygen delivery
This device may not be suitable for patients with specific anatomical abnormalities of the airway that prevent the proper seating of a 7.0 mm tube. It is also not intended for long-term use beyond the recommended duration for disposable endotracheal devices.
Key specifications
- Size: 7.0 mm inner diameter
- Material: Flexible, latex-free PVC
- Cuff type: Low-pressure, high-volume
- Connector: 15 mm universal standard
- Visibility: Full-length X-ray marker
- Graduations: Every 1 cm with double depth markers
- Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EO)
To use the tube, ensure the packaging is intact and sterile before opening. After verifying the cuff integrity, insert the tube into the trachea using standard clinical protocols. Once positioned, inflate the cuff using the pilot balloon to achieve the desired seal. Monitor the depth markings to ensure the tube remains in the correct anatomical position throughout the procedure. The pilot balloon provides clear identification of the tube size and batch information for safety tracking.
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 integrity of the individual paper-foil packaging
- Confirm that the clinical environment is equipped for sterile intubation procedures
Usage recommendations: This product is intended for single-use only and must be disposed of according to medical waste regulations after use. Always perform a cuff leak test prior to insertion to ensure optimal performance and patient safety.
