Smiths Medical 100/133/070 - Ivory PVC, North Facing, Nasal, Profile Soft Seal Cuff, Polar Preformed Endotracheal Tube, 7.0MM, 10/bx

The Smiths Medical Polar Preformed Nasal Endotracheal Tube 7.0mm is designed to provide secure airway management during surgical and critical care procedures requiring nasal intubation. Manufactured from high quality ivory PVC, this tube features a polar preformed design that directs the tube away from the surgical field, helping clinicians maintain a clear operating area while ensuring stable airway access.

This nasal endotracheal tube includes a Profile Soft Seal cuff engineered to create a reliable airway seal while minimizing pressure on delicate tracheal tissue. The north facing configuration provides optimal orientation during nasal intubation procedures, particularly in maxillofacial, dental, and ENT surgeries. Its smooth internal lumen and atraumatic tip allow for controlled insertion and consistent airflow performance.

Each tube is designed for precision, safety, and clinical efficiency. The preformed shape reduces the need for repositioning, improving patient comfort and procedural workflow in operating rooms, emergency departments, and intensive care environments.

Key Benefits

The polar preformed design helps keep the tube positioned away from the surgical field, which is especially valuable in facial and oral procedures where unobstructed access is critical.

The Profile Soft Seal cuff creates an effective seal with lower cuff pressure, supporting adequate ventilation while reducing the risk of tracheal irritation.

Constructed from medical grade ivory PVC, the tube offers flexibility and durability while maintaining structural integrity throughout the procedure.

The north facing nasal configuration supports consistent positioning and improved stability during nasal intubation.

Smooth tube walls and a carefully shaped distal tip help facilitate atraumatic insertion and dependable airway management.

Compatibility and Applications

This nasal endotracheal tube is suitable for use with standard anesthesia breathing circuits, ventilators, and airway management systems commonly found in hospitals and surgical centers.

It is widely used during procedures that require nasal intubation, including oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental surgery, ENT procedures, trauma care, and long duration surgeries where airway stability is essential.

The 7.0mm internal diameter size is typically appropriate for adult patients requiring controlled ventilation and airway protection.

Usage Guidelines

The tube should be inserted by trained medical professionals experienced in airway management and endotracheal intubation techniques.

Before use, the cuff should be checked to ensure proper inflation and integrity. Lubrication may be applied to assist smooth nasal insertion and reduce patient discomfort.

After placement, cuff inflation should be carefully monitored to maintain an adequate seal while avoiding excessive pressure on tracheal tissues.

Clinicians should verify tube placement through standard confirmation techniques including auscultation, capnography, or imaging when required.

Typical clinical settings include operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency departments, ambulatory surgical centers, and trauma care facilities.

It is particularly valuable during maxillofacial and dental procedures where oral access must remain unobstructed.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

The tube should be stored in a clean, dry environment and handled using sterile techniques before use. Care should be taken to avoid excessive bending or damage during preparation and insertion.

Clinicians should continuously monitor cuff pressure and patient ventilation parameters throughout the procedure to maintain optimal airway performance.

After use, the device should be disposed of according to hospital infection control policies and medical waste regulations.

Regulatory and Safety Information

This airway management device is intended for single use in professional healthcare settings. It should only be used by qualified clinicians trained in airway management and endotracheal intubation.

All procedures must follow established clinical protocols and institutional safety guidelines to ensure patient safety and optimal performance.

Proper verification of tube placement and ventilation effectiveness should always be performed following insertion.
