Description
The Avanos MICROCUFF Adult Endotracheal Tube (oral/nasal Magill) with Murphy eye is a sterile, single-use device for establishing and maintaining a secure airway in adult patients. It is intended for oral or nasal intubation in operating rooms, intensive care units, and emergency settings. The MICROCUFF design uses a microthin polyurethane cuff (approximately 13 µm) engineered to achieve a high tracheal seal at low cuff pressures to minimize leakage. By helping to reduce micro-aspiration of pharyngeal secretions, the manufacturer indicates this design may lower the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) during prolonged ventilation.
Key features
