Smiths Medical 100/111/055 - TUBE ENDOTRACHEAL ORAL UNCUFFED 5.5MM ID PREFORMED PVC (10/BX)

Smiths Medical 100/111/055 - TUBE ENDOTRACHEAL ORAL UNCUFFED 5.5MM ID PREFORMED PVC (10/BX)

The Smiths Medical 100/111/055 Oral Endotracheal Tube is designed to support safe and efficient airway management during anesthesia, emergency care, and surgical procedures. Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade PVC, this preformed oral tube provides reliable airway access while maintaining patient comfort and optimal positioning during intubation.

This uncuffed endotracheal tube features a 5.5 mm internal diameter and a preformed curvature that helps reduce pressure on surrounding tissues while keeping the airway secure. Its smooth internal lumen supports consistent airflow and ventilation, making it suitable for pediatric and small-patient airway management. The transparent construction allows clinicians to monitor airway conditions, condensation, and potential obstructions throughout the procedure.

Designed to meet the demands of modern clinical environments, this tube supports predictable placement, smooth insertion, and compatibility with standard anesthesia and ventilator circuits. Each box contains ten sterile tubes prepared for immediate clinical use.

Key Benefits

• Preformed oral design helps maintain consistent positioning during procedures
• 5.5 mm internal diameter suitable for pediatric airway management
• Uncuffed construction reduces pressure on delicate airway tissues
• Smooth PVC surface supports atraumatic insertion
• Transparent tubing allows visual monitoring of condensation and blockages
• Consistent airflow through a well-designed lumen
• Sterile packaging ensures clinical readiness
• Reliable performance in surgical, emergency, and intensive care settings

Compatibility and Applications

The Smiths Medical 100/111/055 oral endotracheal tube integrates easily with standard anesthesia systems, manual resuscitators, ventilators, and airway management equipment. It is commonly used in operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, and pediatric care environments where reliable airway access is essential.

This tube is particularly suitable for controlled ventilation procedures, airway stabilization during surgery, and emergency airway management where preformed tubes help maintain optimal positioning and minimize interference with surgical fields.

Usage Guidelines

Clinicians should select the appropriate tube size based on patient age, anatomy, and clinical requirements. Prior to intubation, the tube should be inspected to confirm sterility and integrity. Lubrication may be applied to facilitate smooth insertion during airway placement.

During intubation, the tube should be guided carefully through the oral cavity into the trachea using standard airway management techniques. Once placed, proper positioning should be confirmed through established clinical verification methods including auscultation and capnography. The tube should then be secured according to institutional protocols.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The Smiths Medical oral endotracheal tube is manufactured in accordance with strict medical device quality standards. Production processes follow recognized regulatory requirements to ensure consistent product safety, sterility, and performance.

Materials used in the tube construction are medical grade and designed for patient safety, with manufacturing procedures aligned with international healthcare device standards commonly used in hospital environments.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with standard straight endotracheal tubes, the Smiths Medical preformed oral design offers improved stability and positioning during procedures, reducing the likelihood of accidental movement. The smooth PVC construction and clear lumen provide consistent airflow and enhanced visibility for clinicians monitoring airway conditions.

Many alternative tubes may lack the same balanced curvature or consistent manufacturing quality. Smiths Medical airway products are widely trusted for their durability, precision engineering, and compatibility with modern ventilation systems.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This endotracheal tube is typically used by anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, respiratory therapists, and trained airway management professionals. It is suitable for hospitals, surgical centers, pediatric care units, emergency response teams, and critical care facilities.

Common applications include pediatric anesthesia procedures, airway stabilization during surgery, controlled ventilation during intensive care treatment, and emergency airway access in acute care situations.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Verify tube size and patient compatibility before use
• Inspect sterile packaging and tube integrity prior to opening
• Use appropriate lubrication for atraumatic insertion
• Confirm proper tube placement using clinical verification methods
• Secure the tube carefully to prevent displacement
• Monitor airway patency and ventilation throughout use
• Dispose of the tube according to medical waste protocols after single use
