Smiths Medical 100/111/040 - TUBE, ENDOTRACH, UNCUFF, MAGILL, 4.0 MM, EACH
The Smiths Medical 100/111/040 Endotracheal Tube Uncuffed Magill 4.0 mm is a reliable airway management device designed to support safe and effective ventilation in clinical settings. Manufactured from clear medical grade PVC, this uncuffed endotracheal tube is engineered to provide smooth insertion, dependable airflow, and optimal patient comfort during intubation procedures.
The Magill style design supports precise placement and improved control during oral or nasal intubation. Its transparent construction allows clinicians to visually confirm airway conditions such as condensation or potential obstructions. The 4.0 mm internal diameter is commonly selected for pediatric airway management where smaller airway anatomy requires precision and gentle insertion.
Designed to meet the demanding requirements of hospitals, emergency departments, and surgical suites, this tube provides clinicians with dependable performance and consistent airflow management throughout the procedure.
Key Benefits
The clear PVC material provides flexibility while maintaining sufficient structure to facilitate smooth insertion. The uncuffed configuration is ideal for pediatric airway management where cuff pressure is not required and where minimizing airway trauma is essential.
The Magill design assists clinicians in achieving controlled and accurate placement of the tube. A smooth distal tip and carefully finished edges help reduce irritation to airway tissues during insertion. The tube also provides excellent airflow performance to support ventilation in critical care and surgical environments.
The transparent body allows clinicians to easily monitor airway conditions, helping detect secretions, condensation, or blockages during ventilation.
Compatibility and Applications
This endotracheal tube is designed for compatibility with standard airway management systems and ventilation equipment used in hospitals and surgical centers. It can be used with manual resuscitators, anesthesia circuits, and mechanical ventilators commonly used in clinical environments.
The 4.0 mm size is typically used for pediatric patients and smaller airway anatomy. The device is suitable for procedures that require reliable airway access, including emergency airway stabilization, operating room anesthesia, and intensive care ventilation.
Usage Guidelines
The endotracheal tube should be inserted by trained healthcare professionals experienced in airway management procedures. Proper patient evaluation and equipment preparation should be completed before intubation.
Lubrication may be applied according to institutional protocols to assist with smooth insertion. The tube should be positioned carefully and verified through clinical assessment and monitoring techniques to confirm correct placement within the airway.
After insertion, the tube should be securely positioned and connected to the appropriate ventilation system or breathing circuit. Continuous monitoring is recommended to ensure proper airflow and patient safety throughout the procedure.
