Kid-man Reinforced Endotracheal Tube, Cuffed, 9.0 mm, with Preloaded Stylet

The Kid-man reinforced endotracheal tube, size 9.0 mm, is a specialized medical device engineered for secure airway management and the maintenance of a patent airway during clinical procedures. Constructed from high-quality, flexible PVC, this tube features full-length reinforcement to prevent kinking or collapse, ensuring consistent airflow. It comes equipped with a preloaded stylet to facilitate precise placement and a Murphy eye to provide an alternative ventilation path should the primary opening become obstructed. The device is designed for single-use, sterile applications, providing a reliable solution for respiratory support in hospital and emergency settings.

Advantages

This endotracheal tube offers significant clinical advantages through its robust design and user-friendly features. The full-length reinforcement provides superior structural integrity, allowing the tube to maintain its shape even in challenging anatomical positions. The inclusion of a preloaded stylet simplifies the intubation process, while the X-ray opaque marker running the entire length of the tube ensures clear visualization during radiographic imaging. Furthermore, the presence of double depth markers and clear graduation marks every 1 cm allows for accurate positioning and monitoring, reducing the risk of malpositioning during critical care.

Suitable for

• Maintaining airway patency during general anesthesia
• Emergency respiratory support and ventilation
• Clinical procedures requiring controlled airway management
• Patients requiring long-term or complex airway stabilization

This device is not suitable for use in patients with known hypersensitivity to the materials used in its construction. It should not be reused under any circumstances, as it is strictly designed for single-patient use. Furthermore, it is not intended for use by untrained personnel; application must be performed by qualified medical professionals.

Key specifications

• Size: 9.0 mm
• Material: Flexible, latex-free PVC
• Reinforcement: Full-length spiral wire
• Connector: 15 mm universal standard
• Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EO)
• Features: Murphy eye, preloaded stylet, X-ray opaque marker
• Graduations: Every 1 cm with double depth markers

To use the device, ensure the packaging is intact and the sterile seal is unbroken. After preparing the patient, the preloaded stylet can be used to guide the tube into the trachea. Once the tube is correctly positioned, as verified by the depth markers and clinical assessment, the cuff should be inflated to the appropriate pressure to create a seal. The stylet is then removed, and the 15 mm universal connector is attached to the ventilation circuit. Continuous monitoring of the tube position and cuff pressure is essential throughout the procedure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required tube size for the specific patient anatomy
• Ensure compatibility with existing ventilation equipment
• Check the expiration date on the sterile packaging
• Confirm the absence of latex allergies in the patient

Always verify the placement of the endotracheal tube using auscultation and capnography immediately after insertion to ensure proper ventilation and patient safety.
