Description

The Hi-Lo® Cuffed Endotracheal Tube is designed for secure and reliable airway management in adult patients. Featuring a pilot balloon and mechanical self-sealing valve, this tube allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of cuff pressure. The large cuff diameter, approximately 1.5 times the average tracheal size, ensures a proper low-pressure seal, even during the natural expansion and contraction of the trachea.

The Hi-Lo® tube’s advanced design includes a high-volume, low-pressure cuff that enhances safety by minimizing the pressure exerted on the tracheal tissue. This feature is crucial in preventing complications such as ischemia or tissue injury, particularly during extended intubation periods. The long-length cuff provides superior protection against aspiration, a critical consideration in airway management.

The Murphy eye, included in the tube’s design, facilitates drainage and airflow in cases of obstruction, further improving patient safety. The curved shape ensures easier insertion and better placement within the trachea. The combination of these features makes the Hi-Lo® Cuffed Endotracheal Tube an ideal choice for adult patients requiring airway management during surgical procedures, critical care, or respiratory support.
