Krishaber Luer Trach.Tube Fig.0, 4mm S/P

Clinical Application

Designed for placement through a tracheostomy stoma to establish and maintain a protected airway, this Krishaber Luer tube is intended for situations requiring a small-diameter lumen such as pediatric patients or adults with narrow airways. The Luer termination allows direct attachment to standard suction tubing or ventilator circuits, enabling airway clearance and controlled ventilation without frequent tube exchanges. Its compact profile is useful for short-term airway management, bronchial toilet, and perioperative tracheostomy care.

Design & Configuration

The Krishaber configuration uses a low-profile external profile and a Luer-terminated proximal end to streamline connections to suction and ventilation devices. The figure 0 designation reflects the classic Krishaber geometry optimized to sit securely in the tracheal lumen while minimizing external bulk at the stoma. A 4 mm lumen balances the need for a reduced cross-section with sufficient internal diameter for suctioning and airflow in small-airway applications.
