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, it is ideal for use during general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation.

Key Features

• Advanced Microthin Polyurethane Cuff
  The ultra-thin cuff material, approximately 10–13 microns, provides a superior seal by minimizing air leaks. This design reduces leakage even at low cuff pressures, enhancing patient safety and comfort. Compared to conventional PVC cuffs, it offers nearly double the puncture strength and burst pressure.

• High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff
  This feature ensures effective sealing at lower pressures, reducing the risk of mucosal injury and improving tracheal contact. The cuff's design allows better conformity to the tracheal contour and greater visualization of vocal cords when deflated.

• Murphy Eye and Radiopaque Line
  The inclusion of a Murphy Eye enhances safety by reducing airway obstruction risks, while the radiopaque line allows for clear visualization under imaging.

• Intubation Depth Markings
  These markings aid in accurate placement, ensuring reliable performance during use.

Benefits

• Sealed Airway
  The tube provides a reliable airway seal, enabling efficient positive pressure ventilation and accurate end-tidal CO₂ monitoring. It is particularly suitable for minimal and low flow anesthesia.

• Reduced Risk of Micro-Aspiration
  The design helps lower the risk of micro-aspiration of pharyngeal secretions, potentially reducing the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia during prolonged ventilation.

• Single-Use, Sterile, and Latex-Free
  Each tube is disposable, sterile, and free from latex and DEHP, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of patients. It is also MR conditional, adding to its versatility in clinical settings.

Available Sizes

The MICROCUFF Adult Endotracheal Tube is available in various sizes, with internal diameters ranging from 5.0 mm to 10.0 mm. Each size is supplied in boxes of 10 tubes, providing convenient packaging for healthcare providers.

This innovative device by Avanos is crafted to enhance patient safety and clinical outcomes, minimizing the need for oversized tubes and re-intubation. Its advanced features make it a reliable choice for healthcare professionals in diverse medical environments.
