Cuffed Tracheal Tubes

We offer Cuffed Tracheal Tube specially designed to reduce VAP. These Cuffed Tracheal Tubes have the ability to remove secretions from above secretions from above the cuff while leaving the tube in-situ. Our Cuffed Tracheal Tubes are very comfortable for the patients. Sacett^{TM The Portex" Suction Above the Cuff Tracheal Tube [SACETTM] is a new addition to the Blue l.ine" range of tracheal tubes, specifically designed to reduce VAP. SACETTTM combines all the quality features of the Blue l.ine" range with the ability to remove secretions from above the cuff while leaving the tube in-situ. Key Features}

• Blue Line" cuffed tracheal tube features the high-volume, lowpressure Soft-Seal® reverse cuff can assist in increasing patient comfort and aids pooling of secretions for aspiration.
• Spring-loaded, one-way valve helps ensure cuff inflation and integrity. The large ergonomic pilot balloon makes it easier to distinguish between the sound of suction and that of a cuff leak.
• Printed pilot balloon helps identify size when ET tube is in the
• Blue radio-opaque line helps verify table positioning within patient
• Posterior aspiration opening and additional lumen leading to a proximal line for connection to suction sources. The integral lumen reducing risk of potential trauma and risk of infection introduction associated with manual catheter suctioning.
• Clear PVC to allow visualisation of misting and confirm correct placement
• Yellow coded suction line and connector for easy identification and prevention of accidental cutting.
• Suction line cap to prevent contaminants entering the lumen when suction is suspended le.q. during patient transport).
• Used as part of a well implemented reduction protocol, CASS has been shown to reduce the incidence of VAP 24-27 . The Portex" Suction Above the Cuff Tracheal Tube has been optimised for the successful application of CASS for the reduction of VAP incidence.
