Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes W/ Murphy Eye | 6.5 mm

Product Overview: 

The DYND43065 Cuffed Endotracheal Tube with Murphy Eye is a high-quality medical device designed for securing the airway in patients requiring ventilatory support or undergoing anesthesia. With a 6.5 mm internal diameter, this endotracheal tube is suitable for adult patients and provides reliable performance in critical care settings.

Key Features:

1. Cuffed Design:

• The tube features an inflatable cuff that ensures a secure seal within the trachea. This helps prevent the aspiration of secretions and facilitates effective mechanical ventilation by minimizing air leaks.

• Equipped with a Murphy Eye, a secondary opening near the distal end of the tube, which serves as an additional pathway for air and oxygen. This feature enhances patient safety by ensuring ventilation even if the primary opening becomes obstructed.

• Made from medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the tube is flexible yet sturdy, offering both comfort and durability. The smooth surface reduces the risk of mucosal irritation and injury during insertion and prolonged use.

• The 6.5 mm internal diameter is clearly marked on the tube, along with graduations to indicate the depth of insertion. These markings help healthcare providers ensure proper placement within the trachea.

• A radiopaque line runs the length of the tube, making it visible on radiographic images. This feature aids in verifying correct tube placement during and after insertion.

• The proximal end of the tube includes a standard 15mm connector that is compatible with a wide range of anesthesia and ventilatory equipment, ensuring versatile use in various clinical scenarios.

Intended Use: The DYND43065 Cuffed Endotracheal Tube with Murphy Eye is intended for:

• Securing the airway in patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
• Providing a patent airway during general anesthesia and surgical procedures.
• Protecting against aspiration in critically ill patients.

Contraindications and Precautions:

• Contraindications: Not suitable for patients with known hypersensitivity to PVC or those with anatomical abnormalities preventing safe insertion.
• Precautions: Careful monitoring is required to avoid complications such as tracheal trauma, infection, and cuff overinflation. Regular assessment of tube placement and function is essential.

Benefits:

• Secure Airway: Provides a reliable means of securing the airway, facilitating effective ventilation and oxygenation.
• Enhanced Safety: The Murphy Eye and radiopaque line contribute to patient safety by ensuring ventilation and enabling easy verification of tube placement.
• Comfort and Performance: The high-quality material and smooth surface design enhance patient comfort and reduce the risk of mucosal injury.

Packaging and Availability: The DYND43065 Cuffed Endotracheal Tube with Murphy Eye is individually packaged in sterile conditions, ensuring it is ready for immediate use. It is available in various quantities to meet the needs of healthcare facilities.
