Clinical Application
This tracheostomy cannula is intended for placement through a surgical or percutaneous tracheostomy stoma to provide a secure airway for ventilation, secretion management, and pulmonary toilet. The 26FG size represents a larger-bore cannula appropriate for adult patients who require reduced resistance to ventilator flow, easier suctioning, or large-bore access for secretion clearance. It is used in acute and long-term airway management pathways in hospitals, step-down units, and long-term care settings.
Design & Configuration
The Fig. 5 configuration denotes a specific cannula geometry and alignment intended to sit reliably within the tracheal lumen and stoma. Geometry and flange positioning affect how the tube aligns with the trachea, how it tolerates movement at the neck, and how readily it permits suctioning and ventilator connections. The S/P designation is retained on the unit label for identification; procurement and clinical staff should verify required accessory compatibility (e.g., obturators, inner cannulas, speaking valves) when ordering.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Tracheostomy tube
- Model / pattern: Fuller Fig. 5
- Configuration: Fig. 5 cannula geometry; S/P designation
- Size: 26FG
- Intended use: Airway management via tracheostomy, ventilation support, secretion clearance
Material & Construction
Constructed to provide a smooth internal lumen and atraumatic interface with tracheal mucosa. The cannula is finished for durability and to withstand routine handling during insertion, suctioning, and connection to respiratory circuits. Consult the product labeling for specific material composition and recommended cleaning or sterilization procedures prior to clinical use.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
