MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tubes

Provides A Superior Tracheal Seal … Proven to Reduce Leakage

AVANOS* MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tubes are available in adult sizes with a Murphy Eye. They include a separate lumen with a dorsal opening above the cuff to provide access to the subglottic space. The subglottic space is reached via a normally open suction valve which includes a one-way port for rinsing the subglottic space with sterile saline (0.95% Sodium Chloride solution) or administering an air bolus to assist in maintaining suction lumen patency.

Multiple size options available for the MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tube. Sizing options for the inner diameter vary between 7mm and 9mm. Similarly, the outer diameter sizing ranges from 10.4mm to 12.8mm. Cuff sizes come in 28mm and 30mm.

The MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tubes are manufactured from natural rubber that is latex-free. EO Sterilised, they should be used no more than once.

Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

Provides an effective seal at low cuff pressure
Designed for better contact with tracheal contour¹⁴
May reduce micro-aspiration of potentially infectious pharyngeal secretions¹³ — Potentially lowers risk of VAP in prolonged ventilation¹
Thinner material allows for greater visualisation of vocal cords when cuff is deflated
Polyurethane can be made thinner and still maintain its strength¹⁷
Polyurethane (13 microns) cuff membranes used in the MICROCUFF* tubes are subtantially thinner than conventional PVC cuffs (50-80 microns¹³)
Puncture strength of MICROCUFF* cuff is almost double compared to conventional PVC cuffs¹⁷
Burst pressure of MICROCUFF* tube is more than double compared to conventional PVC cuffs
