Smiths Medical 100/166/095 - TRACHEAL TUBE SILICONISED SOFT-SEAL CUFF ORAL/NASAL9.5MM+ 10/CA
The Smiths Medical 100/166/095 Tracheal Tube is designed to support secure airway management during anesthesia, critical care, and emergency procedures. Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade PVC with a siliconised surface, this oral or nasal tracheal tube offers smooth insertion while reducing friction against delicate airway tissues.
The 9.5 mm internal diameter tube is equipped with a Soft-Seal cuff that helps maintain an effective airway seal at lower cuff pressures. This feature supports patient safety by minimizing the risk of tracheal trauma while maintaining reliable ventilation. Designed for consistent performance across operating rooms, intensive care units, and emergency departments, this tracheal tube supports dependable airway access when precise airway control is required.
Key Benefits
- Siliconised tube surface enables smooth insertion and improved patient comfort
- Soft-Seal cuff technology supports effective airway sealing at lower pressures
- Large 9.5 mm internal diameter facilitates efficient airflow and ventilation
- Dual oral or nasal insertion capability for flexible airway management
- Clear tube design allows visual confirmation of condensation and airway patency
- Radiopaque line supports accurate placement verification using imaging
Compatibility and Applications
This tracheal tube is designed for use with standard anesthesia circuits, ventilators, and airway management systems commonly used in hospitals and surgical environments. Its 9.5 mm internal diameter makes it appropriate for adult airway management where larger airflow capacity is required.
Typical applications include general anesthesia procedures, emergency airway stabilization, intensive care ventilation support, and pre-hospital emergency airway management. The tube is compatible with standard connectors and airway accessories used in modern clinical practice.
Usage Guidelines
The tracheal tube should be inserted by trained healthcare professionals experienced in airway management techniques. Prior to use, clinicians should verify cuff integrity and confirm proper sizing for the patient.
During placement, the tube may be introduced orally or nasally depending on the clinical requirement. Once inserted, the Soft-Seal cuff should be inflated carefully to achieve an effective seal without exceeding recommended cuff pressures. Continuous monitoring of airway position and ventilation effectiveness is recommended throughout use.
Certifications and Safety Standards
This tracheal tube is manufactured under strict medical device quality standards to ensure reliability in clinical environments. The device meets applicable healthcare manufacturing regulations and supports hospital infection control and patient safety protocols.
Production processes follow internationally recognized medical device quality systems designed to maintain consistent product performance, sterility, and traceability for clinical use.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with conventional tracheal tubes, the Smiths Medical siliconised Soft-Seal design offers improved insertion characteristics and enhanced cuff performance. The siliconised surface reduces friction during placement, while the Soft-Seal cuff allows clinicians to maintain an effective airway seal with reduced cuff pressure.
Many traditional tubes require higher cuff inflation to achieve a seal, which may increase the risk of tracheal irritation. The Soft-Seal cuff technology helps address this concern while maintaining stable airway security during ventilation.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This tracheal tube is commonly used by anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, respiratory therapists, and critical care teams responsible for airway management. It is particularly suited for hospitals, surgical centers, emergency departments, and intensive care units where dependable airway access is essential.
The product supports procedures that require prolonged ventilation, controlled anesthesia delivery, or emergency airway stabilization in both elective and urgent care settings.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Prior to insertion, clinicians should inspect the tracheal tube packaging to confirm sterility and ensure that the cuff inflates properly. Proper lubrication may be applied to facilitate smooth placement where appropriate.
Throughout the procedure, cuff pressure should be monitored to maintain an adequate seal while minimizing pressure on tracheal tissues. After use, the device should be disposed of according to established medical waste handling protocols.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This device is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals trained in airway management and endotracheal intubation procedures. Proper clinical judgment and adherence to institutional airway management guidelines are essential to ensure safe and effective use.
The tracheal tube is supplied sterile for single-use clinical application. Reuse or reprocessing is not recommended as it may compromise device integrity and patient safety.
