Portex SACETT Suction Above Cuff Oral Endotracheal Tube - 6.0mm Pack of 10 (100/189/060 to 085)

Description: The Portex SACETT Suction Above Cuff Oral Endotracheal Tube is a vital component of the Blue Line® range, designed with precision to address the specific needs of medical professionals. Engineered to reduce Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP), this endotracheal tube combines quality features with innovative design elements.

Key Features:

• Part of the Blue Line® range: Ensures high-quality construction and functionality consistent with the renowned Blue Line® series.
• Continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions (CASS): An additional posterior lumen with a subglottic evacuation opening allows for continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions, reducing the risk of VAP.
• Low pressure, high volume Soft-Seal® cuff: Minimizes trauma to the trachea, protecting the patient's airway by preventing aspiration during ventilation.
• Shaped Soft-Seal® cuff: Encourages secretions to pool around the evacuation opening, optimizing the aspiration process.
• High-volume, low pressure Soft-Seal® reverse cuff: Facilitates pooling of secretions for effective aspiration, a unique feature of SACETT®.
• Integral suction lumen: Enables removal of pooled secretions, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of VAP.
• Spring-loaded one-way valve: Ensures cuff inflation and integrity, contributing to patient safety during ventilation.
• Large ergonomic pilot balloon: Facilitates easy distinction between suction and cuff leak sounds, also aiding tube size identification.
• Yellow coded suction line and connector: Enables easy identification and prevents accidental cutting, ensuring procedural safety.
• Suction line cap: Prevents contaminants from entering the lumen during suction suspension, particularly crucial during patient transport.
• Clear PVC material with radiopaque marker: Allows clear visualization for correct tube positioning and breath misting observation.
• Smooth cuff-to-tube weld and polished tapered tip with Murphy eye: Features that echo the quality of the Blue Line® range, minimizing trauma during intubation and extubation.
• 15mm connector: Facilitates connection to anaesthetic and ventilator breathing circuits, ensuring compatibility with standard medical equipment.

Benefits:

• VAP Reduction: SACETT® is designed to reduce the risk of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, prioritizing patient safety.
• Continuous Aspiration: The additional posterior lumen with subglottic evacuation opening enables continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions, enhancing infection control.
• Trauma Minimization: The low pressure, high volume Soft-Seal® cuff minimizes trauma to the trachea, safeguarding the patient's airway during ventilation.
• Effective Secretion Management: Shaped Soft-Seal® and high-volume, low pressure Soft-Seal® reverse cuff encourage effective secretion pooling and aspiration.
• Safety Features: Integral suction lumen, spring-loaded one-way valve, large ergonomic pilot balloon, and yellow coded suction line ensure procedural safety and ease of use.
• Contamination Prevention: Suction line cap prevents contaminants from entering the lumen during suction suspension, crucial for patient transport.
• Clear Visualization: Clear PVC material with radiopaque marker enables clear visualization for correct tube positioning and breath misting observation.
• Compatibility: The 15mm connector ensures compatibility with standard anaesthetic and ventilator breathing circuits, enhancing versatility in medical settings.
