Nasal Preformed PVC Endotracheal Tube

The Nasal Preformed PVC Endotracheal Tube is a medical device specifically designed for nasotracheal intubation. Made from medical-grade PVC, it features a preformed curved structure that minimizes kinking or twisting during insertion while reducing the risk of trauma to the nasal cavity and tracheal mucosa.

Key Features

• Material & Design:

• Medical-grade PVC: Transparent, flexible, and biocompatible. Some products are labeled as DEHP-free, making them suitable for sensitive patients.

• Preformed curvature: Anatomically shaped to align with the nasal and pharyngeal pathways, ensuring stability and reducing intraoperative displacement.

• High-volume, low-pressure cuff: Provides effective sealing with reduced risk of mucosal pressure injury, ideal for prolonged ventilation.

• Functional Attributes:

• 
  

• X-ray opaque line: A radiopaque marker runs the entire length of the tube for precise intraoperative positioning.

• Murphy eye: A lateral opening at the distal tip to prevent complete airway obstruction and enhance ventilation safety.

• Cuff options: Cylindrical or conical cuff designs are available for diverse patient anatomies

• Specifications

• Inner Diameter (I.D.): Ranges from 3.0–9.0 mm, suitable for both pediatric and adult patients.

• Total Length: Varies by I.D. (e.g., 375 mm for a 7.5 mm I.D. nasal tube).

• Cuff Diameter: Adjustable between 11–31 mm depending on the model, ensuring low-pressure sealing.

Indications & Advantages

• Indications:

• Oral or maxillofacial surgeries requiring nasotracheal intubation.

• Long-term mechanical ventilation or emergency airway management.

• Advantages:

• Reduced trauma: Soft material and rounded tip minimize nasal bleeding.

• Ease of use: Preformed design simplifies insertion and improves success rates.

• Compatibility: Direct connection to anesthesia machines or ventilators.
