Smiths Medical 100/111/020 - TUBE ENDOTRACHEAL ORAL UNCUFFED 2.0MM ID DIRECTIONAL TIP PREFORMED PVC (10/BX)

Smiths Medical 100/111/020 - TUBE ENDOTRACHEAL ORAL UNCUFFED 2.0MM ID DIRECTIONAL TIP PREFORMED PVC (10/BX)

The Smiths Medical 100/111/020 Endotracheal Oral Uncuffed Tube is designed to support reliable airway management during clinical procedures requiring controlled ventilation or airway protection. Manufactured from high quality medical grade PVC, this preformed oral endotracheal tube provides a stable airway pathway while maintaining patient comfort and procedural efficiency.

The tube features a 2.0 mm internal diameter and a directional tip designed to facilitate precise placement within the airway. Its preformed structure helps maintain positioning during procedures and minimizes the risk of kinking or displacement. As an uncuffed tube, it is especially suitable for neonatal and pediatric airway management where delicate airway anatomy requires careful consideration.

This airway management device is widely used in hospitals, surgical centers, emergency departments, and critical care environments where dependable airway control is essential. Each box contains ten sterile tubes prepared for single use in clinical settings.

Key Benefits

The directional tip supports smoother insertion and helps clinicians guide the tube accurately into the trachea. The preformed design maintains a natural curvature that aligns with oral anatomy, reducing the need for repositioning during procedures.

Medical grade PVC construction provides flexibility while maintaining structural integrity, allowing the tube to adapt to airway contours without compromising airflow. The uncuffed configuration reduces pressure on sensitive airway tissues, making it particularly suitable for neonatal and pediatric patients.

The tubes smooth internal lumen allows efficient airflow and ventilation while minimizing resistance. Consistent manufacturing standards ensure reliable performance in demanding clinical environments.

Compatibility and Applications

This oral endotracheal tube is compatible with standard anesthesia circuits, ventilators, and airway management equipment used in modern healthcare facilities. It can be used with commonly available laryngoscopes, connectors, and respiratory support systems.

Typical applications include airway management during surgical procedures, emergency airway stabilization, controlled ventilation in critical care settings, and pediatric respiratory support. The device is commonly selected for neonatal and pediatric intubation where smaller airway dimensions require carefully engineered solutions.

Usage Guidelines

Prior to use, clinicians should verify the appropriate tube size based on patient age, airway anatomy, and clinical requirements. The tube should be visually inspected for packaging integrity and any potential damage before opening.

During intubation, the directional tip assists in guiding the tube through the vocal cords under direct visualization using appropriate laryngoscopic techniques. Once placed, proper tube positioning should be confirmed through established clinical methods such as auscultation, capnography, and chest observation.

The device is intended for single patient use and should be disposed of according to healthcare facility infection control protocols after use.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The Smiths Medical endotracheal tube is manufactured under rigorous medical device quality management systems to ensure safety, consistency, and reliability. Production follows internationally recognized standards for medical device manufacturing.

The materials used are biocompatible and suitable for clinical airway management. Each tube undergoes quality checks to ensure dimensional accuracy, smooth internal surfaces, and proper structural performance before distribution.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with many standard pediatric airway tubes, the Smiths Medical preformed design offers enhanced stability and anatomical alignment during procedures. The directional tip provides additional control during insertion, helping clinicians achieve accurate placement more efficiently.

While some alternative tubes may rely on straight designs that require additional manipulation, the preformed curvature of this tube supports consistent positioning throughout surgical and respiratory support procedures. The high quality PVC material also provides reliable flexibility without compromising structural integrity.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This endotracheal tube is commonly used by anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, emergency physicians, and pediatric specialists responsible for airway management. It is also utilized by trained clinical staff working in operating rooms, neonatal intensive care units, and emergency response environments.

Common scenarios include pediatric surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia, airway protection during respiratory distress, emergency airway stabilization, and ventilatory support in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Clinicians should select the correct tube size based on patient assessment and follow established airway management protocols during insertion and monitoring. Maintaining sterile handling techniques is essential to prevent contamination during preparation and use.

Continuous monitoring of ventilation parameters and airway patency is recommended once the tube is in place. After the procedure, the tube should be removed according to clinical guidelines and disposed of properly as a single use medical device.

Regulatory and Safety Information

This device is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in controlled clinical environments. Proper clinical training and adherence to airway management protocols are essential for safe use.

Healthcare providers should follow institutional guidelines and applicable regulatory requirements when selecting and using airway management devices. Any adverse events or device concerns should be reported according to local regulatory reporting procedures.
