Description
Overview
Avanos MICROCUFF Paediatric Endotracheal Tubes are cuffed ETTs designed for secure airway management in infants and children, including neonatal patients. The ultra‑thin, strong polyurethane MICROCUFF cuff employs a high‑volume, low‑pressure design to establish an effective tracheal seal at lower cuff pressures. Each tube features a continuous radiopaque line for X‑ray visibility and placement aids intended to support accurate positioning in paediatric airways. Both configurations are supplied without a Murphy eye.
