Fuller Trach.Tube Fig.6, 28FG S/P

Clinical Application

Designed for use in surgical tracheostomy and tracheostomy tube exchange, this Figure 6 pattern tube provides a secure, low-resistance airway for adult patients. The 28FG diameter is sized for larger adult airways where a larger internal lumen is required to facilitate ventilation, suctioning, and bronchial toileting. Intended for use in the operating room, intensive care unit and step-down settings, it supports short- and long-term airway management following tracheostomy formation or during elective tube changes.

Design & Configuration

The Figure 6 geometry incorporates a curved shaft that follows the tracheal axis to reduce kinking and to align the distal tip with the tracheal lumen. A proximal flange provides a stable platform for external tube fixation and minimizes micromotion at the stoma. The 28 French bore delivers a larger internal diameter than smaller tracheostomy sizes, lowering airway resistance and improving suctioning efficiency—advantages during prolonged ventilation or when frequent airway clearance is required.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Tracheostomy tube (surgical)
• Pattern / model: Fuller, Figure 6
• Size: 28FG
• Configuration: Single-lumen with proximal flange for fixation
• Typical use: Airway establishment, ventilation support, suctioning and pulmonary hygiene
• Reusable: Engineered for repeated sterilization and clinical reuse

Material & Construction

Constructed for durable clinical use and repeated reprocessing, the tube is consistent with metal reusable tracheostomy designs commonly used in surgical and critical care settings. The smooth, polished shaft facilitates atraumatic insertion and reduces secretion adhesion. Reusable construction supports sterilization workflows common to hospitals and surgery centers.

Quality & Compliance

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

Brand Comparison
