Hood Tracheal T-Tubes
Pediatric and Standard Tracheal T-Tubes
Hood Tracheal T-Tubes are designed with the stopper plug attached to the extraluminal limb to ensure the most secure placement, and to offer convenience in daily cleaning, maintenance and training. The single-piece construction eliminates misplacement of plugs while medical personnel are developing routine breathing and maintenance. The Ring Flanged Plug can be detached and threaded over the extraluminal limb to fit snugly against the patient’s tracheostoma, adding security by reducing excessive movement of the T-Tube. The smooth extraluminal stem provides comfort for a wide range of patients, thin and obese, and eliminates complications in cases of edema.
The extraluminal limb of the Pediatric T-Tubes has an enlarged tip. This allows for easier handling of the plug, improved visualization and easier access for maintenance by medical personnel.
