Cubley Trach.Tube Fig.2, 18FG S/P

Clinical Application

Designed for airway management through a tracheostomy stoma, this instrument provides a stable lumen for mechanical ventilation, pulmonary toilet (suctioning) and bronchoscopic access when required. The 18FG sizing supports selection when a smaller-diameter tracheal access is clinically indicated, such as partial airway obstruction management, temporary postoperative airway control, or when matching to specific peri‑operative suction and ventilation equipment.

Design & Configuration

The Figure‑2 configuration features a curved cannula profile intended to follow the anatomical axis of the trachea and to position the tube tip distal to the stoma while keeping the external flange low-profile on the neck. This geometry helps reduce local pressure points at the stoma, facilitates secure fixation to the neck with sutures or ties, and provides an unobstructed lumen for ventilation and suction. Size marked as 18FG identifies the internal/external diameter class appropriate for procedures and care protocols that require that French size.
