Kid-man Reinforced Endotracheal Tube, Cuffed, 7.0 mm, with Preloaded Stylet

The Kid-man Reinforced Endotracheal Tube, size 7.0 mm, is a sterile, single-use medical device engineered for reliable airway management in clinical environments. Constructed from flexible PVC, the tube features full-length reinforcement to prevent kinking and ensure airway patency during complex procedures. It comes equipped with a preloaded stylet to facilitate precise placement, a Murphy eye for improved gas flow, and a 15 mm universal connector compatible with standard ventilation equipment.

Advantages

This endotracheal tube offers superior durability and safety through its reinforced design, which maintains structural integrity even when the patient's head or neck is positioned at difficult angles. The inclusion of a preloaded stylet significantly simplifies the intubation process for medical professionals. Furthermore, the presence of an X-ray opaque marker and clear depth indicators allows for accurate positioning and verification, while the latex-free construction minimizes the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients.

Suitable for

• Securing airways during general anesthesia
• Emergency respiratory support in clinical settings
• Procedures requiring flexible tube positioning
• Patients requiring mechanical ventilation

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for long-term intubation beyond the duration of a single procedure. It should not be used if the patient has a known hypersensitivity to PVC or if the sterile packaging is compromised.

Key specifications

• Size: 7.0 mm
• Material: Flexible, latex-free PVC
• Reinforcement: Full-length spiral
• Connector: 15 mm universal
• Features: Preloaded stylet, Murphy eye, X-ray opaque marker
• Graduations: Every 1 cm with double depth markers
• Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EO)

How to use

Before use, inspect the sterile packaging for any damage. The tube should be prepared by a qualified healthcare professional. Utilize the preloaded stylet to guide the tube through the vocal cords into the trachea. Once the tube is positioned at the appropriate depth, as indicated by the depth markers, inflate the cuff to create a seal. Confirm placement using standard clinical protocols, such as auscultation or capnography, and secure the tube in place. After the procedure, deflate the cuff and remove the tube carefully.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required tube size for the specific patient population
• Ensure compatibility with existing ventilation circuits
• Check the expiration date on the sterile packaging
• Confirm the facility has appropriate suction and monitoring equipment

Usage recommendations

Always verify the position of the endotracheal tube using X-ray or clinical assessment after insertion to ensure optimal ventilation and patient safety.
