Clinical Application
Designed for tracheostomy procedures and ongoing airway management, this figure‑5 pattern tube provides a stable conduit to the trachea for ventilation, suctioning and bronchoscopy access. The 9 mm bore is selected for larger pediatric or adult patients who require a low‑resistance airway suitable for connection to breathing circuits or ventilators.
Design & Configuration
The figure‑5 cannula geometry presents an anatomically oriented curvature that follows the hypopharyngeal axis to reduce tip impingement and pressure on surrounding tissues. An external neck flange secures the tube to the stoma and provides predictable orientation for cuff placement or accessory attachment. The 9 mm internal diameter balances airflow capacity with profile, aiding in clearance of secretions and accommodating common tracheostomy adapters.
