Smiths Medical 100/100/050 - Tracheal Tube, Cuffed, 5mm, 10/bx

The Smiths Medical 100/100/050 cuffed tracheal tube is designed to provide reliable airway access during anesthesia, emergency airway management, and critical care procedures. Manufactured with a clear medical-grade tube and a precision-designed cuff, this 5 mm tracheal tube supports controlled ventilation while helping maintain an effective airway seal. Its transparent construction allows clinicians to monitor condensation, secretions, and airflow during procedures.

This tracheal tube incorporates a Murphy eye design to help maintain airflow even if the primary lumen becomes partially obstructed. The inflatable cuff creates a secure seal within the trachea, helping prevent air leakage and reducing the risk of aspiration during mechanical ventilation or anesthesia delivery. Packaged sterile and supplied in boxes of ten units, the product is suitable for hospitals, surgical centers, emergency departments, and critical care environments where dependable airway devices are essential.

Key Benefits

The Smiths Medical cuffed tracheal tube provides dependable airway security and efficient ventilation support during a wide range of clinical procedures. The soft cuff design helps establish a stable tracheal seal while minimizing pressure against delicate airway tissues. A smooth, clear tube body enhances visualization and allows clinicians to detect secretions or condensation that may indicate airway conditions.

The integrated Murphy eye offers an additional airflow pathway in case the distal opening becomes blocked, helping maintain patient ventilation. The tubes flexible construction allows for easier placement and improved patient comfort during intubation procedures. Sterile packaging ensures safe use in clinical environments that require strict infection control standards.

Compatibility and Applications

This 5 mm cuffed tracheal tube is commonly used for airway management in surgical procedures, emergency medicine, and intensive care settings. It is compatible with standard breathing circuits, ventilators, and anesthesia machines used in modern healthcare facilities.

Typical applications include general anesthesia, assisted ventilation, emergency airway management, respiratory support in critical care units, and controlled ventilation during surgical procedures. The tube can also be used in operating rooms, emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital intensive care units.

Usage Guidelines

Before use, clinicians should inspect the sterile packaging and verify the product size and integrity. The cuff should be tested prior to insertion to confirm proper inflation and deflation. During intubation, the tube should be inserted following established airway management protocols and verified for correct placement using appropriate clinical assessment methods.

After positioning, the cuff should be inflated carefully to achieve an effective seal without excessive pressure. Clinicians should monitor cuff pressure regularly and observe airflow, patient ventilation parameters, and tube placement throughout the procedure or ventilation period.
