Smiths Medical 100/134/060 - Endotrachel Tube, Clear PVC Uncuffed, Preformed, 6.0 mm ID x 8.2 mm OD x 240 mm, 10/bx

The Smiths Medical 100/134/060 Endotracheal Tube is a preformed, uncuffed airway management device designed to provide reliable ventilation during anesthesia, emergency airway management, and controlled respiratory care. Manufactured from high-quality clear PVC, this tube offers flexibility, durability, and excellent visibility for clinicians during placement and monitoring.

With an internal diameter of 6.0 mm, an outer diameter of 8.2 mm, and an overall length of 240 mm, the tube is engineered to deliver consistent airflow while maintaining structural stability within the airway. The preformed design helps maintain optimal positioning and reduces the likelihood of kinking or displacement during procedures. Supplied in convenient boxes of 10, this airway device supports clinical environments that demand efficiency, precision, and dependable performance.

Key Benefits

The clear PVC construction allows clinicians to visually monitor condensation, secretions, and airflow within the tube, improving procedural awareness and patient safety. Its preformed shape supports anatomical alignment and helps maintain a stable airway position throughout surgical or respiratory procedures.

The uncuffed design is particularly suitable for situations where minimal airway pressure is required or where cuff inflation is not necessary. The smooth internal lumen promotes consistent airflow while reducing resistance during ventilation.

The tubes carefully engineered dimensions ensure compatibility with standard ventilation equipment and intubation accessories, while its durable material maintains integrity even during extended procedures.

Compatibility and Applications

This endotracheal tube is widely used in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, emergency departments, and intensive care units. It is suitable for controlled ventilation, airway management during surgical procedures, and respiratory support in emergency settings.

The device integrates easily with standard anesthesia circuits, breathing systems, and ventilators commonly used in operating rooms and critical care environments. Its universal connector ensures seamless compatibility with airway management equipment.

Usage Guidelines

The endotracheal tube should be inserted by trained medical professionals using appropriate intubation techniques and airway visualization tools. Proper patient positioning and airway assessment should be performed prior to placement.

Once inserted, clinicians should confirm correct tube placement using accepted clinical methods such as auscultation, capnography, and chest observation. Continuous monitoring is recommended to ensure airway stability and effective ventilation throughout the procedure.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The Smiths Medical endotracheal tube is manufactured under strict medical device quality management systems to meet regulatory and safety standards required in professional healthcare settings. The device is produced using medical-grade materials that support patient safety, sterility, and clinical reliability.

Each unit is packaged and processed to maintain product integrity until the time of use, ensuring that healthcare professionals receive a device suitable for sterile medical environments.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with many standard airway tubes available in the market, the Smiths Medical preformed design provides improved positional stability and reduces the risk of bending or occlusion. The clear PVC construction offers superior visibility when compared with opaque materials used by some alternative manufacturers.

Clinicians often prefer this model because of its consistent manufacturing quality, smooth internal surface, and dependable airway performance during both short and extended procedures.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This airway device is commonly used by anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, respiratory therapists, and critical care specialists responsible for airway management. It supports procedures performed in operating rooms, emergency response environments, trauma care units, and intensive care settings.

The tube is especially valuable in procedures where a stable airway pathway and reliable ventilation are required without the use of a cuffed seal.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Clinicians should inspect the device prior to use to confirm that the tube is free from defects or damage. Proper lubrication and appropriate intubation technique can assist with smooth insertion and reduce the risk of airway trauma.

Once in place, healthcare professionals should continuously monitor the patients respiratory status and verify that the tube remains properly positioned. Single-use protocols should be followed to maintain infection control standards within healthcare facilities.

Regulatory and Safety Information

This endotracheal tube is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in clinical environments. Proper airway management protocols should be followed at all times to ensure patient safety and effective ventilation.

Medical staff should adhere to institutional guidelines regarding airway device use, monitoring procedures, and safe disposal after use.
