The Smiths Medical 60PFP55 is a pediatric tracheostomy tube designed to accommodate the unique needs of pediatric patients. With a diameter of 5.5mm and a length of 52mm, this uncuffed tube features a proximal extension, ensuring it remains soft and flexible within the trachea, thereby enhancing patient comfort and mobility.
One of the key features of this tracheostomy tube is its wire reinforcement, which provides additional kink resistance, ensuring the tube maintains its shape and function, even under pressure. This is particularly beneficial in accommodating varying airway anatomy or pathology, eliminating the need for endotracheal tubes in tracheostomy stomas.
The tube also features a V-neck flange, which allows the shaft length to be altered without the need for extubation. It comes with an obturator, a 15mm disconnect wedge, and a trach-tie from Portex Bivona, adding to its functionality and ease of use.
The tube is radiopaque, allowing for easy visualization under X-ray, and is delivered sterile for immediate use. This makes the Smiths Medical 60PFP55 tracheostomy tube a reliable choice for pediatric tracheostomy care. The product comes in a pack of 10 units.
