Cardinal Health IS10FRL - Intubating Stylet Lubricated, 10FR, Sterile, Malleable Design for Safe Endotracheal Tube Placement,200/CS

Product Overview
The Cardinal Health IS10FRL Intubating Stylet is a 10 French, lubricated, sterile, single-use device designed to assist with smooth and controlled insertion of endotracheal tubes (ETTs) during airway management. Featuring a malleable aluminum core and smooth plastic sheath, this stylet allows clinicians to shape and guide the ETT with enhanced precision and reduced risk of mucosal trauma.

Its pre-lubricated, low-friction surface ensures effortless movement within the tube, while the extended plastic tip covering helps protect delicate airway tissues during intubation. This device is compatible with ETTs sized 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm internal diameter, making it ideal for pediatric and small adult patients.

Key Benefits

• 10FR size compatibility: Suitable for ETTs with 4.06.0 mm internal diameter, commonly used in pediatric or small adult intubations.

• Malleable aluminum core: Enables customized shaping to match anatomical needs and clinician preference.

• Lubricated plastic sheath: Minimizes resistance, allowing smooth insertion and easy withdrawal.

• Soft tip extension: Reduces the risk of tracheal trauma and enhances patient safety.

• Sterile and single-use: Promotes infection control and eliminates the need for reprocessing.

• Latex-free and DEHP-free: Safe for patients with sensitivities or allergies.
