Portex Cuffed Blue Line Ultra® Suctionaid Tracheostomy Tube - Various Sizes

Sold as Each

Cuffed Blue Line Ultra® Suctionaid® tracheostomy tubes with subglottic suction line are intended to improve patient well-being by maintaining a clean, hygienic and unobstructed airway through the ability to remove secretions above the cuff. The low pressure, high volume Soft-Seal® cuff is intended to minimise trauma to the trachea and protect the patient’s airway when inflated. This is achieved by maintaining the air delivered from a ventilator to a patient's lungs preventing aspiration.

The tracheostomy tube provides a clear, anatomically shaped flexible neck flange which aids cleaning and conforms to the patient’s neck aiding in patient comfort. A range of sizes are available; including half sizes to ensure your patient has the ideal tube to ensure comfort and functionality.

Features:

• Suction lumen to enable removal of secretions is integrated into tube wall for smooth, easy insertion to minimise trauma
• High volume, low pressure Soft Seal® cuff allows an effective seal to be created whilst reducing the risk of tracheal stenosis
• The 15mm connector on the tube, not inner cannula allows connection to the ventilator with or without the inner cannula for enhanced safety
• Clear flange allows clear visualisation of the patient’s stoma
• The smooth, arc shaped design with tapered tip is designed to assist placement and removal of both the tracheostomy tube and inner cannula with minimal disruption to the patient’s airway
• Radiopaque which enables clear visualisation for correct tube positioning
• Tracheostomy tube’s thermosensitive PVC construction provides initial firmness for ease of insertion which then conforms to the patient’s airway at body temperature reducing trauma
• Integral suction lumen of Blue Line Ultra Suctionaid® makes it easy to remove pooled secretions, this is important as pooled secretions may lead to patient discomfort and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
