Smiths Medical 100/133/080 - TRACHEAL TUBE MAXILLO FACIAL N/NASAL IVORY S/SL CUFF 8.0MM 10/BX
The Smiths Medical 100/133/080 Maxillofacial Nasal Tracheal Tube is a specialized airway management device designed for procedures requiring secure nasal intubation and unobstructed surgical access to the oral cavity. Featuring an 8.0mm internal diameter and a soft seal cuff, this tracheal tube is engineered for use in maxillofacial, dental, and head and neck surgeries where a nasal approach is preferred.
Constructed from high-quality medical-grade PVC, the tube maintains flexibility while offering structural integrity for reliable airway support. Its ivory color enhances visual contrast during clinical use, while the smooth surface reduces tissue irritation during insertion. The soft seal cuff ensures a dependable airway seal with minimal pressure on the tracheal walls, supporting patient safety during controlled ventilation.
Packaged in boxes of ten, this maxillofacial nasal tracheal tube is designed to meet the demanding needs of hospitals, surgical centers, and anesthesia departments seeking dependable airway management solutions for complex surgical environments.
Key Benefits
The maxillofacial nasal configuration allows clinicians to maintain a secure airway while leaving the oral cavity unobstructed, which is critical for facial, dental, and oral surgical procedures. This design improves surgical accessibility without compromising ventilation.
The soft seal cuff technology provides an effective airway seal while minimizing pressure on the tracheal mucosa. This helps reduce the risk of complications associated with prolonged intubation.
Medical-grade PVC construction ensures flexibility for smooth insertion while maintaining durability during mechanical ventilation. The material is also transparent enough to allow visual monitoring of condensation and airway patency.
The ivory color improves visibility during placement and handling in the operating room, helping clinicians quickly identify the device among other equipment.
Consistent manufacturing standards ensure reliable performance across procedures, making it suitable for routine surgical airway management.
Compatibility and Applications
This tracheal tube is intended for nasal intubation during surgical and critical care procedures requiring controlled ventilation. It is compatible with standard anesthesia circuits, ventilators, and airway management accessories commonly used in operating rooms and intensive care environments.
The tube is frequently used in maxillofacial surgery, dental surgery, oral surgery, ENT procedures, trauma surgery involving facial structures, and other clinical situations where oral access must remain clear.
The 8.0mm internal diameter size is generally suitable for adult patients requiring standard airway support during surgical anesthesia.
Usage Guidelines
The device should be used by trained medical professionals experienced in airway management and endotracheal intubation techniques. Proper preparation includes verifying the cuff integrity, ensuring adequate lubrication, and selecting the correct size for the patient.
During nasal intubation, clinicians should follow standard airway management protocols to minimize trauma to nasal passages and ensure accurate placement within the trachea.
Once positioned, the cuff should be inflated to achieve an adequate airway seal without excessive pressure. Continuous monitoring of ventilation and cuff pressure is recommended throughout the procedure.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The Smiths Medical tracheal tube is manufactured in accordance with internationally recognized medical device quality standards. Production processes typically follow strict regulatory requirements designed to ensure patient safety and consistent device performance.
These devices are produced within controlled manufacturing environments that comply with recognized medical device quality management systems. Materials used in construction are selected to meet biocompatibility and safety requirements for airway devices.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with standard oral tracheal tubes, this maxillofacial nasal design offers significant advantages in procedures requiring clear surgical access to the mouth and jaw. The nasal route helps maintain airway stability without interfering with surgical instrumentation.
The soft seal cuff provides a balanced combination of effective airway sealing and reduced mucosal pressure, which distinguishes it from some traditional high-pressure cuff designs.
In comparison with many generic airway devices, Smiths Medical products are known for consistent manufacturing quality, smooth insertion characteristics, and reliable ventilation performance.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This device is typically used by anesthesiologists, surgical teams, respiratory therapists, and critical care clinicians who require dependable airway management tools during complex procedures.
Common application scenarios include maxillofacial surgery, oral reconstructive procedures, dental surgery under general anesthesia, ENT surgery, and trauma management where oral access must remain unobstructed.
Hospitals, surgical centers, and specialized operating facilities frequently rely on this type of airway device to maintain patient ventilation while allowing surgeons full access to the operative field.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Proper storage in a clean, controlled clinical environment helps preserve the integrity of the device until use. Packaging should remain sealed until the moment of preparation to maintain sterility.
Before use, clinicians should inspect the tube and cuff for defects, verify the patency of the lumen, and confirm that all components function correctly.
After use, the device should be disposed of in accordance with institutional protocols for single-use medical devices and biohazard waste management.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This tracheal tube is intended for single patient use and should not be reprocessed or reused. Reuse may compromise device performance and increase the risk of infection.
The device must be used only by qualified healthcare professionals trained in airway management procedures. Improper use can lead to complications such as airway trauma or inadequate ventilation.
Clinicians should follow all institutional safety guidelines and manufacturer instructions during device selection, insertion, monitoring, and removal.
