Description
Avanos MICROCUFF Paediatric Endotracheal Tube (ETT) is a cuffed paediatric airway tube designed for anatomical cuff placement and supplied without a Murphy eye. It features a micro-thin polyurethane cuff with a high-volume, low-pressure profile intended to achieve an effective seal at low cuff pressures. The cuff is positioned distally on the tube to maintain a cuff-free subglottic zone. Placement is supported by centimeter depth markings, a black intubation depth marker above the cuff for vocal cord alignment, and four precision bands to help confirm optimal positioning. A continuous radiopaque line aids imaging confirmation. Each tube includes a pilot balloon with inflation valve and a standard 15 mm connector. The device is supplied sterile and intended for single use.
