Kid-man AAPRIM-75 Cuffed Endotracheal Tube, 7.5 mm, Sterile

The Kid-man AAPRIM-75 is a sterile, single-use cuffed endotracheal tube with a 7.5 mm internal diameter, engineered for reliable airway management in clinical environments. Constructed from high-quality, flexible PVC, this tube is designed to maintain airway patency while minimizing trauma to the patient's trachea. It features a low-pressure, high-volume cuff that ensures an effective seal, reducing the risk of aspiration and facilitating controlled ventilation.

Advantages

This endotracheal tube offers significant clinical advantages, including a Murphy eye that provides an alternative ventilation path should the primary opening become obstructed. The inclusion of a full-length X-ray marker allows for precise radiographic verification of the tube's position. With clear depth markings every 1 cm and a double depth marker, clinicians can accurately monitor and maintain the correct placement. The universal 15 mm connector ensures compatibility with standard anesthesia and ventilation equipment, while the latex-free composition minimizes the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients.

Suitable for

• General anesthesia procedures
• Mechanical ventilation in intensive care units
• Emergency airway management
• Prevention of airway obstruction during surgical interventions

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in patients with known anatomical abnormalities that would prevent proper placement of a 7.5 mm tube. It is also not suitable for long-term intubation beyond the manufacturer's recommended duration for single-use disposable devices.

How to use

The tube should be handled by trained medical professionals only. Before insertion, inspect the packaging for integrity and verify the cuff's function by inflating it to check for leaks. Lubricate the tube according to clinical protocols. Insert the tube through the glottis using a laryngoscope, ensuring the cuff is positioned correctly within the trachea. Once in place, inflate the cuff using the pilot balloon to achieve the desired seal. Secure the tube and confirm placement through auscultation and capnography.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required internal diameter for the specific patient population
• Ensure compatibility with existing ventilation circuits
• Check the expiration date and sterilization status upon receipt
• Confirm the facility has appropriate suction and monitoring equipment available

Usage recommendations: This product is for single-use only and must be disposed of immediately after use according to medical waste regulations. Do not resterilize or reuse, as this compromises the structural integrity and sterility of the device.
