About Intubation Micro Laryngeal Tube Cuffed
View allThe MLT is often used in place of a standard small diameter ETT to facilitate Direct Laryngoscopic procedures utilizing Microlaryngoscopy techniques. The surgeon prefers a small diameter ETT to facilitate the view of the airway. The nickname for MLT is "mighty long tube"!Reliable Airway ManagementThis micro laryngeal tube provides secure and effective maintenance of airway patency throughout complex laryngeal procedures. Thanks to the high-volume, low-pressure PVC cuff, it minimizes tracheal injury while delivering a consistent seal necessary for safe ventilation of the patient during surgery.
Patient-Centric Safety & ComfortThe tube's smooth, beveled tip is carefully designed to reduce the risk of trauma or tissue damage during intubation. Being latex-free, it suits individuals with latex sensitivities, and its lubricated surface allows for easier, more comfortable intubation and removal.
Convenient & Standardized DesignEach tube features a universal 15 mm connector and is supplied sterile in an individual blister pack, supporting both adult and pediatric uses. The availability in various sizes, CE/ISO 5361 certification, and a shelf life of five years make it a reliable, ready-to-use option for healthcare facilities.

Q: How should the Intubation Micro Laryngeal Tube Cuffed be used during surgery?
A: This endotracheal tube is primarily used for airway management during laryngeal surgeries. Insert the lubricated, smooth-beveled tip through the patient's airway, inflate the high-volume, low-pressure cuff to secure the airway, and connect to ventilation equipment using the 15 mm universal connector.
Q: What benefits does the high-volume, low-pressure cuff provide?
A: The high-volume, low-pressure soft PVC cuff ensures a secure airway seal while minimizing pressure on tracheal tissues, reducing the risk of mucosal damage and enhancing patient safety during prolonged surgical procedures.
Q: When should I use this micro laryngeal tube?
A: This tube is ideal for use during micro laryngeal surgeries requiring secure airway access. It is suitable for both adult and pediatric patients depending on the selected tube size.
Q: Where can I verify the suitability and authenticity of the tube?
A: Each tube is CE/ISO 5361 certified and comes with an expiry date clearly indicated on the packaging. The blue radiopaque line on the tube further aids in visual confirmation via X-rays during medical procedures.
Q: What is the process for intubation with this tube?
A: After ensuring the appropriate tube size, remove from the sterile blister pack, check the cuff integrity, lubricate the surface if needed, and gently insert. Once in place, inflate the cuff and connect the tube to the ventilation system using the 15 mm universal connector.
Q: What patient groups is the tube suitable for?
A: The Intubation Micro Laryngeal Tube Cuffed is available in a range of sizes, making it suitable for both adults and pediatric patients undergoing laryngeal surgery, with internal diameters ranging from 5.0 mm to 8.0 mm.
Q: How should the tube be stored before use?
A: The tube should be stored in its individual sterile blister pack, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, to maintain its sterility and integrity until the point of use.
