Disposable Low Pressure High Volume Endotracheal Tube Type RAE Without Cuff

Disposable Low Pressure High Volume Endotracheal Tube, Type RAE Without Cuff

A Disposable Low Pressure High Volume Endotracheal Tube, Type RAE (Ring-Adair-Elwyn) Without Cuff, is a specific type of endotracheal tube used in airway management during medical procedures.

1. Low Pressure High Volume Design:
- The design of a low-pressure, high-volume endotracheal tube suggests that it is intended to provide a higher volume of air at lower pressure during ventilation.

2. Type RAE (Ring-Adair-Elwyn):
- The RAE design is a specific shape of the endotracheal tube. It is characterized by a curvature that allows the tube to follow the natural anatomy of the trachea.

3. Without Cuff:
- The term "without cuff" indicates that this endotracheal tube does not have an inflatable cuff at the distal end.
- Endotracheal tubes without cuffs are used in situations where a cuff is not necessary or may pose a risk, such as during short-duration procedures or when a secure seal is not required.

4. Disposable Nature:
- Being labeled as "Disposable" indicates that the endotracheal tube is intended for single-use only.
- Disposable medical devices help minimize the risk of cross-contamination and ensure patient safety.

5. Intended Use:
- Used for airway management during surgeries, medical procedures, or emergency situations where intubation is required.

6. Ventilation:
- The endotracheal tube allows for mechanical ventilation, providing a direct airway to the trachea and lungs.

• Tube made from Non-toxic PVC, latex free
• PVC tube contains DEHP. DEHP FREE tube is aviailable
• Specially designed tube shape for Nasal intubation
• Transparent tube allows indentification for condensation
• Radio opaque line through tube length for X-ray visualisation
• Gently rounded, drawn in tracheal tube tip for atraumatic and smooth intubation
• Softly rounded Murphy eyes in tube tip are less invasive
• Blister packing, single use, EO sterilization
• Certified with CE, ISO

Are all endotracheal tubes cuffed?
There are two types of tracheal tubes: one is cuffed, with a balloon at the end of the tube providing proper tracheal sealing and preventing the stomach contents from getting into the lungs. The other is uncuffed, with no balloon.

What size ET tubes are uncuffed?
Use 3.5 mm internal diameter cuffed endotracheal tube for children 1 to <2 years of age and a 3.0 mm internal diameter cuffed endotracheal tube for children <1 year of age.
