Smiths Medical 100/817/090 - Trach Tube, Cuffed, Fenestrated, 9.0mm ID x 13.3mm OD x 81mm L
The Smiths Medical 100/817/090 tracheostomy tube is a cuffed, fenestrated airway management device designed to support secure ventilation while enabling speech and improved airflow. With a 9.0mm internal diameter, 13.3mm outer diameter, and 81mm length, this tube is engineered to deliver consistent performance in both acute and long-term care settings. The fenestrated design allows for airflow through the upper airway, supporting phonation when clinically appropriate.
Key Benefits
This tracheostomy tube provides reliable airway access with a soft, inflatable cuff that ensures an effective seal for ventilation. The fenestrations facilitate airflow to the vocal cords, helping patients regain the ability to speak. Its smooth surface and anatomical design help minimize irritation, while the standardized connector allows compatibility with a wide range of ventilation systems.
Compatibility and Applications
Designed for use in hospitals, surgical centers, and long-term care environments, this tracheostomy tube is compatible with standard 15mm connectors, ventilators, and breathing circuits. It is suitable for adult patients requiring airway support, mechanical ventilation, or weaning from ventilatory assistance.
Usage Guidelines
This device should be inserted and managed by trained healthcare professionals following established clinical protocols. Proper cuff inflation is essential to ensure an adequate seal without causing tracheal injury. Regular monitoring of tube placement, cuff pressure, and airway patency is recommended to maintain optimal patient safety and comfort.
Certifications and Safety Standards
Manufactured in compliance with international medical device standards, this tracheostomy tube meets stringent quality and safety requirements. It is designed using medical-grade materials that support biocompatibility and patient safety in clinical environments.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared to standard non-fenestrated tubes, this model offers the added advantage of enabling speech through its fenestrated design. Its consistent sizing, reliable cuff performance, and smooth insertion characteristics make it a preferred choice over lower-quality alternatives that may lack uniform construction or airflow optimization.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is commonly used by respiratory therapists, critical care specialists, and surgical teams managing patients with compromised airways. It is suitable for patients recovering from surgery, those requiring long-term airway access, or individuals undergoing ventilator weaning programs.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Routine inspection of the tube for blockage, damage, or displacement is essential. Cleaning and replacement schedules should follow institutional protocols. Proper humidification and suctioning techniques should be used to maintain airway patency and reduce the risk of complications.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This tracheostomy tube is intended for single-patient use unless otherwise specified. It should be handled using aseptic techniques and disposed of according to medical waste regulations. Users should follow all applicable guidelines and manufacturer instructions to ensure safe and effective use.
