The Portex BLUselect Suctionaid Tracheostomy Tube Kit 100/870/075cz is a cuffed, non-fenestrated tracheostomy kit designed for patients requiring an artificial airway with the added ability to remove secretions from above the cuff.
Product Details
Tube Type: Cuffed, non-fenestrated tracheostomy tube with an integral suction lumen (Suctionaid).
Material: Thermosensitive PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which provides initial rigidity for insertion, then softens at body temperature for patient comfort. It is not manufactured with DEHP plasticizers.
Kit Contents: The kit typically includes the tracheostomy tube, two inner cannulas, a cleaning brush, and a tracheostomy tube holder. It also features an obturator with a hollow, atraumatic tip and retaining clips to aid insertion.
Size: The specific product code 100/870/075cz corresponds to a 7.5 mm size, which is often color-coded on the packaging and tube flange for easy identification.
Key Features:
Suction Lumen: A clear, integral suction line allows for the aspiration of pooled secretions from above the cuff, helping to minimize aspiration risk and supporting VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia) reduction plans.
Soft Seal Cuff: A low pressure, high volume cuff designed to minimize trauma and provide an effective seal.
Radiopaque: The tube is suitably radiopaque, allowing for confirmation of its position via X-ray visualization.
Angle: Features a 105° angle
