Smiths Medical 100/141/050 - Endo Trach Murphy 10/Bx
The Smiths Medical 100/141/050 Endotracheal Tube with Murphy eye is designed to provide dependable airway management during anesthesia, emergency care, and critical respiratory support procedures. Manufactured from medical-grade clear PVC, this tube offers excellent flexibility and visibility while maintaining structural integrity during insertion and ventilation.
The integrated Murphy eye adds an additional ventilation pathway, helping maintain airflow if the primary lumen becomes partially obstructed. This design improves patient safety and reduces the risk of airway blockage during intubation. Supplied in a convenient box of ten units, the Smiths Medical 100/141/050 tube is suitable for hospitals, surgical centers, emergency departments, and respiratory therapy environments where reliable airway access is essential.

Usage Guidelines
Endotracheal tubes should only be inserted by trained medical professionals experienced in airway management techniques. Prior to use, clinicians should verify tube integrity and confirm correct sizing for the patient. Proper lubrication and visualization during insertion help facilitate smooth placement.
After intubation, clinicians should confirm tube position through appropriate clinical methods such as auscultation, capnography, or imaging where required. Continuous monitoring of airway pressure and ventilation parameters is recommended throughout the procedure.
