About Microlaryngeal Tube PVC Cuff

Intubation with north pole endotracheal tube is done in patients planned for oral surgery. The common indication for this being, oral cancer and facial fracture requiring intermaxillary fixation. Most of these patients fall in the category of difficult intubation and hence difficult extubation. Problem during extubation is further accentuated because of edema in and around the surgical field. There are chances of bleeding into the airway at the time of extubation as well. We expect upper airway obstruction during extubation in these patients.

We, at our institution withdraw the north pole tube and leave a measured length (from tip of the nose to ear lobule) in situ. This serve many purpose.1. North pole tube at this point of time, becomes a nasopharyngeal airway with gas monitoring. Oxygen delivery is better, as we can deliver very high FiO2 directly into the oropharynx.2. If there is bleeding into the airway requiring reintubation, the same tube can be advanced into the trachea.3. At the time of shifting to the recovery room, machine end of the tube is cut near the nostril and left in situ, till the patient is fully awake.

By using this technique, we can avoid the complications associated with nasopharyngeal airway insertion in this subgroup of patients. At the same time, we have better control of situation at the time of extubation by adequate monitoring (capnograph) and better oxygen supplementation.

Designed for Surgical Precision

Our microlaryngeal tube is tailored for delicate airway management, particularly in microlaryngeal and subglottic surgeries. The soft, flexible body and colored depth markings aid clinicians in precise placement, while the high-volume, low-pressure cuff ensures patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Its transparent construction provides clear visual assessment during use.

Safety and Versatility for All Patients

This device supports both adult and pediatric applications, thanks to a wide range of inner diameters (4.0mm to 6.0mm). The Murphy eye enhances safety, and the universal 15mm connector ensures compatibility with standard ventilation equipment. Stringent sterility standards (EO sterilization, latex-free materials) offer added protection for all patients.

Certified Quality and Reliable Storage

Every tube is CE Marked and ISO 13485 certified, reflecting rigorous manufacturing standards. Each unit is individually packaged in a sterile blister pack, with an extended shelf life of five years. For maximum safety and functionality, store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight until ready for use.

FAQ's of Microlaryngeal Tube PVC Cuff:

Q: How should the Microlaryngeal Tube PVC Cuff be used during surgery?

A: The tube is inserted into the patient's airway to maintain a secure and controlled passage during microlaryngeal and subglottic surgical procedures. Its high-volume, low-pressure cuff is inflated to seal the airway effectively without exerting excessive pressure, reducing the risk of tissue damage.

Q: What are the available size options for this microlaryngeal tube?

A: This product is offered in various sizes with internal diameters ranging from 4.0mm to 6.0mm, accommodating both adult and pediatric patients. The different size options allow precise selection based on clinical need.

Q: When should a microlaryngeal tube with a high-volume, low-pressure cuff be chosen?

A: This tube is recommended for patients undergoing microlaryngeal or subglottic procedures where minimizing tracheal mucosa damage is crucial. The high-volume, low-pressure cuff is ideal for these delicate surgeries as it ensures effective sealing with reduced trauma risk.

Q: Where can the Microlaryngeal Tube PVC Cuff be purchased?

A: The product is available from medical suppliers, traders, and wholesalers in India. Ensure to purchase from authorized distributors for guaranteed product quality and compliance with safety standards.

Q: What makes the tube safe for patients with latex allergies?

A: The microlaryngeal tube is completely latex-free, significantly lowering the risk of allergic reactions for sensitive patients. The EO gas sterilization further enhances patient safety by providing a sterile, ready-to-use device.

Q: What is the shelf life and storage recommendation for this product?

A: The tube has a five-year shelf life when kept unopened in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight. Proper storage preserves sterility and ensures device integrity until use.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this microlaryngeal tube during procedures?

A: Key advantages include its high-volume, low-pressure cuff for minimizing airway trauma, radiopaque full-length line for accurate positioning during imaging, the Murphy eye for added safety, and compatibility with standard equipment through its 15mm universal connector. Its lightweight and flexible design also aid in ease of use and patient comfort.
