The Portex Blue Line Ultra Suctionaid Tracheostomy Tube Kit 100/870/085 is an 8.5mm cuffed tracheostomy tube kit with an integral suction lumen, designed to help manage airways and remove secretions from above the cuff.
Key Features and Specifications
The kit is supplied as a sterile, single-use package and includes the tracheostomy tube, two inner cannulae, a cleaning brush, and a tracheostomy tube holder.
Integral Suction Lumen: Features an additional lumen to aid the removal of secretions from above the cuff, which can help minimize aspiration.
Thermosensitive Material: Made from a thermosensitive PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material that provides sufficient rigidity for initial insertion and then softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's individual anatomy, enhancing comfort.
Soft-Seal Cuff: A low-pressure, high-volume cuff designed to minimize trauma and ensure an effective seal to prevent air leaks and aspiration.
Design: Features a 105° angle for comfort when in situ and a clear, soft flange for aesthetic acceptability and easier stoma care.
Radiopaque: The tube is suitably radiopaque, allowing for confirmation of its position via X-ray visualization.
Obturator: The obturator has a special clip design to minimize tube tip movement during insertion.
Inner Cannula: Includes two inner cannula (fenestrated and non-fenestrated options may be available depending on the specific product variant, but this one is the plain version) which are reusable and color-coded for easy identification.
