Frequently asked questions
What is the benefit of the TTS cuff technology?
The Tight-to-Shaft (TTS) cuff is designed to provide a secure seal for mechanical ventilation when inflated. Crucially, when deflated, it retracts tightly against the tube shaft, which helps minimize friction and reduces the risk of trauma to the delicate neonatal airway during insertion or removal.
Is the material gentle on neonatal skin?
Yes, this tube is constructed from high-quality, soft, and flexible silicone. This material is specifically chosen to be gentle and comfortable for the sensitive anatomy of neonates.
Does this kit come with everything needed for placement?
Yes, this is a complete kit designed to support immediate procedures. Each package includes:
- The neonatal tracheostomy tube
- A matching obturator
- A twill trach tie for secure fixation.
Can this be used for patients requiring mechanical ventilation?
Absolutely. The cuffed design is engineered to create a reliable tracheal seal, which is essential for facilitating effective mechanical ventilation in neonatal respiratory therapy settings.
Is the product sterile upon arrival?
Yes, all units are provided sterile to ensure they are ready for immediate clinical use in medical environments.
Are there any specific warnings I should be aware of?
Yes, please note that the materials used in this medical device contain components that may pose risks related to cancer and reproductive harm according to standard medical safety disclosures.
Is this tube intended for neonatal use?
Yes, this specific model (size 2.5) is engineered specifically for neonates. It features a 2.5 mm internal diameter and a 4.0 mm outside diameter to accommodate smaller anatomy.
Does the tube have a straight neck flange?
Yes, this device features a straight neck flange design to ensure a stable fit against the patient’s neck area while maintaining the correct tube positioning.
How do I secure the tube once placed?
The kit includes a twill trach tie which is specifically provided for secure fixation of the tube to the patient, utilizing the lateral eyelets found on the neck flange.
What is the expected length of this tube?
The tube has a length of 30 mm, though the design accommodates a functional length range between 21 mm and 40 mm.
