Collin Trach.Tube Fig.7, 11mm S/P

Clinical Application

This Collin Figure 7 tracheostomy tube is intended to provide a stable airway conduit following surgical tracheostomy or for long‑term airway management. It is used to maintain tracheal patency, support mechanical ventilation, permit pulmonary toilet (suctioning), and facilitate respiratory care and weaning strategies. The 11 mm nominal size provides a larger lumen for airflow and suctioning needs; size selection should be made based on patient anatomy and ventilatory requirements.

Design & Configuration

The Figure 7 Collin pattern is a recognized tracheostomy geometry that aligns the tube with the tracheal axis to reduce stoma tension and support secure placement. The larger 11 mm bore balances the need for adequate ventilatory flow and the ability to pass suction catheters while maintaining a low resistance airway. The S/P suffix identifies a specific factory variant; procurement teams should confirm the exact feature set (for example cuffing, inner cannula options, or finish) against ordering documentation when selecting fixtures for a particular care pathway.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Tracheostomy tube
• Pattern / model: Collin, Figure 7
• Size: 11 mm (nominal bore)
• Typical uses: Airway establishment, ventilation interface, suctioning, postoperative airway management
• Reusable: Designed for repeated reprocessing

Material & Construction

Reusable tracheostomy tubes of this pattern are typically manufactured from corrosion‑resistant, surgical‑grade materials suitable for repeated sterilization cycles. Construction emphasizes smooth internal bore geometry to minimize secretion adherence and facilitate suctioning and cleaning. Confirm specific material and finish (for example stainless steel or other reprocessable alloys) with product specifications on the order sheet.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison
