With an outer diameter (OD) of only 4.4 mm, Tritube is an ultrathin ventilation tube, intended to obtain endotracheal access to the airway and to ventilate an adult patient. Tritube can exclusively be used together with Evone or Ventrain.

Tritube has three lumen:

• A ventilation lumen – with Murphy eye and an inner diameter (ID) smaller than 3 mm;
• A cuff lumen – to inflate and deflate the high volume, low pressure cuff;
• An intratracheal pressure measurement lumen – for continuous intratracheal pressure measurements.

Tritube (including its cuff) is completely manufactured of high-quality Polyurethane (PU). Moreover, Tritube has a malleable stylet to facilitate intubation.

Applications

Tritube provides anesthesiologists and ENT surgeons in the field op upper airway surgery and oral surgery with effective ventilation in an open and obstructed airway. In combination with Evone  or Ventrain  as the ventilator, Tritube’s ultrathin OD of only 4.4 mm in combination with a sealed airway preventing turbulences of air nearby the surgical site, creates a large surgical exposure. Our ventilation techniques FCV® and EVA® enable full ventilation through small bore lumen, providing adequate ventilation even in cases involving critically obstructed airways.

Features

• Easy access to the airway
• A secured airway
• A hygienic and clear sight for the surgeon
