2. General Description
The product consists of an outer cannula (1) with a cuff (2) or
without a cuff, and an exchangeable inner cannula (3) with a
15 mm connector (3a) or grooved low profile connector. The out-
er and inner cannulas are connected and disconnected with a
twisting motion (C).
The cuff is inflated or deflated using the inflation line (2a).
The outer cannula is made of radiopaque polyurethane and is
attached to a neck flange (5) that can swivel on 2 axes (cardanic
suspension).
The inserter is already mounted in the outer cannula and has a
foldable silicone sleeve at its tip (8).
3. Indications
Due to the pre-installed atraumatic inserter, the tubes can be
used for percutaneous dilation tracheostomies in combination
with the TRACOE experc dilation set REF 520 or for tube change.
The Seldinger technique must be applied in both cases.
The products are suitable for patients where access to the res-
piratory tract is required via a tracheostoma with the trachea
sealed. The fenestrated tubes with cuff facilitate speech in pa-
tients with an intact larynx.
The tubes with a suction line (9) are for use in patients where
suction of subglottic secretion is indicated.
