Description
The MICROCUFF* Adult Endotracheal Tube by Avanos is a specialized medical device designed for effective airway management in adult patients. Suitable for both oral and nasal intubation, this tube is configured in the Oral/Nasal Magill style and includes the Murphy Eye for enhanced safety.
Key Features
-
Microthin Polyurethane Cuff: The cuff material is approximately 13 microns thick, significantly thinner than conventional PVC cuffs. This advanced design reduces leakage and minimizes air leaks, providing an enhanced seal at low cuff pressures.
-
Patient Safety: The unique cuff design reduces the risk of tracheal trauma and micro-aspiration of pharyngeal secretions, potentially lowering the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) during prolonged ventilation.
-
Improved Visualization: When deflated, the cuff offers greater visualization of the vocal cords, while its contact with the tracheal contour ensures better sealing.
-
Durability: The cuff boasts nearly double the puncture strength and burst pressure compared to conventional cuffs.
-
Radiopaque Line: Includes a radiopaque line for easy visualization during medical imaging.
Material and Safety
- Latex-Free: Made from microthin polyurethane, the tube is latex-free, single-use, and sterile, ensuring high safety standards.
