Smiths Medical 35W085 - TUBE ENDOTRACHEAL ORAL/NASAL CUFFED 8.5MM ID MAGILL SILICONE STAINLESS STEEL REINFORCED

The Smiths Medical 35W085 is an oral and nasal cuffed endotracheal tube designed for airway management in clinical environments where a flexible, reinforced tube is preferred. Featuring an 8.5 mm internal diameter, a Magill-style configuration, silicone construction, and stainless steel reinforcement, this endotracheal tube is designed to help maintain airway patency while reducing the risk of tube kinking during positioning and patient care.

The combination of flexible silicone and internal stainless steel reinforcement makes the Smiths Medical 35W085 suitable for airway management procedures in which the tube may be exposed to bending, external pressure, or changes in head and neck position. The cuffed design supports airway sealing for controlled ventilation when properly positioned and managed by qualified healthcare professionals.

Key Benefits

• 8.5 mm internal diameter for appropriately selected adult airway management applications
• Suitable for oral or nasal intubation according to clinical assessment and procedural requirements
• Cuffed configuration supports an effective airway seal when correctly inflated and monitored
• Silicone construction provides flexibility for airway management and patient positioning
• Stainless steel reinforcement helps resist kinking and tube compression
• Magill-style design supports established oral and nasal intubation techniques
• Designed for professional use in anesthesia, surgery, critical care, and other controlled airway management settings

Compatibility and Applications

The Smiths Medical 35W085 reinforced endotracheal tube is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals as part of an appropriate airway management system. Its 8.5 mm internal diameter should be selected only after considering patient anatomy, ventilation requirements, clinical condition, and the judgment of the responsible clinician.

Typical applications may include general anesthesia, surgical procedures, critical care, and other situations requiring a secured airway and assisted or controlled ventilation. The reinforced construction can be particularly useful in procedures where conventional endotracheal tubing may be more vulnerable to bending or compression.

Before use, clinicians should confirm compatibility with the intended breathing circuit, ventilation equipment, airway accessories, and other components used during the procedure.

Usage Guidelines

The Smiths Medical 35W085 should be used only by clinicians trained in endotracheal intubation and airway management. Select the appropriate tube size based on the individual patient and the planned procedure. Inspect the tube, cuff, inflation system, connector, and reinforcement before use according to the applicable instructions for use.

Following intubation, verify tube placement using accepted clinical methods and institutional protocols. Inflate the cuff only to the minimum pressure necessary to achieve an effective airway seal, and monitor cuff pressure throughout use. Secure the tube appropriately and reassess its position whenever the patient is moved or repositioned.

Always follow the current manufacturer instructions for insertion, cuff management, cleaning, reprocessing, storage, and use of the device.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The Smiths Medical 35W085 is intended for professional medical use and should be handled in accordance with the current manufacturer labeling, instructions for use, applicable healthcare regulations, and institutional airway management policies. Product packaging and labeling should be reviewed before use to confirm the applicable regulatory status, processing requirements, and safety information for the specific device supplied.

Healthcare facilities should maintain appropriate procedures for product inspection, traceability, storage, reprocessing when applicable, and removal from service if damage or deterioration is identified.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with standard non-reinforced endotracheal tubes, the Smiths Medical 35W085 incorporates stainless steel reinforcement designed to provide additional resistance to kinking and compression. This feature can be valuable when the airway tube must remain functional during procedures involving substantial head or neck positioning or when external forces could affect a conventional tube.

The silicone construction also distinguishes this model from many conventional endotracheal tubes manufactured from other materials. When selecting between reinforced and standard airway tubes, clinicians should consider the procedure, anticipated patient positioning, airway anatomy, ventilation needs, institutional protocols, and manufacturer guidance.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The Smiths Medical 35W085 is intended for use by anesthesiologists, anesthetists, critical care physicians, respiratory therapists, emergency clinicians, surgeons, and other appropriately trained healthcare professionals. It may be selected in hospitals, operating rooms, intensive care environments, and other clinical settings where advanced airway management is performed.

Typical scenarios may include procedures requiring controlled ventilation, cases involving significant patient repositioning, and clinical situations where additional protection against tube kinking is desirable. The 8.5 mm internal diameter should be used only when clinically appropriate for the individual patient.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Inspect the endotracheal tube and all functional components before use.
• Confirm that the 8.5 mm internal diameter is appropriate for the patient and procedure.
• Use established techniques to verify correct tracheal placement after intubation.
• Monitor cuff pressure and maintain the lowest effective pressure required for an adequate airway seal.
• Secure the tube properly and reassess placement following patient movement or repositioning.
• Avoid using a device that shows signs of damage, deformation, compromised reinforcement, or impaired cuff function.
• Follow the current manufacturer instructions for cleaning, reprocessing, inspection, storage, and reuse when applicable to the supplied product.
• Maintain appropriate product traceability and follow institutional infection prevention procedures.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The Smiths Medical 35W085 is a medical airway device intended for use by trained healthcare professionals. Improper tube selection, placement, cuff inflation, securing, monitoring, cleaning, or reprocessing may result in serious patient complications. Continuous clinical assessment and appropriate airway monitoring are essential throughout use.

Always review the current product labeling and manufacturer instructions before use. Confirm the condition of the packaging and device, verify applicable processing requirements, and follow institutional protocols for airway management and infection prevention. Do not use a product that is damaged, compromised, or otherwise unsuitable for clinical use.
