- Tracheostomy tubes are used to administer positive-pressure ventilation, to provide a patent airway, to provide protection from aspiration, and to provide access to the lower respiratory tract for airway clearance.
- Cuffed Line Tracheostomy tubes are designed to provide an effective tracheal seal for ventilated patients to reduce the risk of aspiration.
- Tracheostomy tubes can be angled or curved, a feature that can be used to improve the fit of the tube in the trachea
- The high-volume, low-pressure cuff is intended to minimize patient trauma. Because of the cuff’s large volume, a larger surface area is in contact with the trachea. This allows the cuff to create an effective seal against the trachea at a lower pressure.
- The Blue Line provides a clear, flexible, anatomically shaped neck flange which aids cleaning and visualization of the stoma site.
